Sunday Post: January 28- February 3 2013

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
~this meme was inspired in part by – In My Mailbox~

It’s a chance to share News.

A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

AHH!  It’s been a crazy week!  I leave tonight, yes tonight, to go on a cruise vacation with my husband.  We are leaving the kids home, and the stress of leaving and getting everything all situated has been insane.  Our babysitter cancelled on us this week, so we had to scramble to figure everything out.  We are sending our dogs to a doggy hotel (I feel horrible about that too), I’ve had to scrub my entire house, do more loads of laundry than I care to admit, and well.. I am now in desperate need of the vacation.  The good news, there are some fantastic posts coming up this next week at Book Savvy Babes.  The Cocktail Society book Club read Blood Law by Karin Tabke this last month, and I’m hosting the review and discussion on Wednesday.  On Thursday, the Love is in the Air blog hop kicks off, and you will want to enter to win this prize!  Plus, we have plenty of great reviews and my fellow bloggers, Lorielu, Rory, and Keri will be around to help out.

As I’ll be on a ship, I will not have any internet or phone service, yikes!  I’m going unplugged this week, and it’s kind of freaking me out.  I’m one of those people who thinks the world might fall if I leave (well, at least when it comes to my kids and school, house, and dogs…)  Shoot, last time I went to RomCon, my hubby dislocated his knee and had to go to the ER, I feel my stress is justified….  Here’s hoping that my kids and house make it through 5 days… *crosses fingers*
