Oh my, it's been a horrid week! The FLU is the worse!!! 
It's been years since I was SO sick and had to go to the ER and stuff... 
which explains why my blog has been so quiet this week; especially after I said that my blog was suppose to be so super busy, lol! I guess I really jinxed myself by not pre-posting properly.
I'm looking forward to the next 2 weeks! Lots of fun stuff!!!

I am also participating in Stacking the Shelves!

*What I'm currently reading...
I have a couple of books that I have started but haven't really gotten into yet since I've been too sick and busy to concentrate on any of them... may have to put them aside and start something else instead ;) 



Hope you all had a wonderful and healthy week!
Please share what you have been up to too!!!

  5. I hope you're feeling better! It's never fun when you're so sick you're rushed to the hospital. Hope you can get some rest with your little ones! Yay for Hero! I read the first book in that series and really want to read this one. They're so fun!
