The idea is pretty simple, every week you dedicate a post to the three W’s:
What are you currently reading?
What have you just finished reading?
What are you going to read next?

I’ve been in a pretty strong mood-reading vibe so I’ve been working slowly on the arcs above. And grabbing anything else that might be interesting to me when those arcs aren’t holding my attention lol.
It was a COVID week for me. My son tested positive last Sunday and had to stay home all week from school. He is doing much better today, thank goodness – he had a fever the first 2 days and then the coughing. He’s coughing less now. It was a 4 day weekend for the kiddos anyway. My daughter also had to stay home from school because she’s a close contact – so she was bored and missed school a lot. I had to put on my nursing hat this week, one of many that moms wear lol…😅. It was a long week.
My son’s birthday is this Saturday so we’ll have a small celebration here at home with just our immediate family. I didn’t plan anything just in case my daughter caught Covid and had to quarantine for longer but so far she’s been negative. We’ll do something more fun for him labor day weekend probably.
Nothing this week, but you know I’m about to watch House of Dragons!!

I don’t know how I feel more tired with my kids in school?! I think because drop off and pick up is me leaving the house early in the morning and then waiting awhile in the car in the afternoon – why is school pick up always chaos?! My daughter loves school so much! So her sunburn on her nose is peeling – I’m curious to see how school pictures look – they were taken on Tuesday and I tried my hardest to cover it up with concealer and powder lol. Oh well, it is what it is! At least we’ll look at the picture and remember the weekend before picture taking and her skin is peeling now so it’s healing at least.
Our dog Atlas, has been getting more cuddle times with me and walks too. But he misses the kids, at night he plops right on top of my daughter’s legs to go to sleep.
Today we have another birthday party at an outdoor location – and I’m making her wear a hat! It is just too hot to be outside right now, and I need her skin to heal. Other than that, I’m just trying my best to keep chugging along. 😩 Our fridge stopped cooling down so I had to buy a mini fridge and I turned it off to defrost the whole thing (you know a restart lol) so let’s hope that works because it’s hard trying to find a repairman lately. Other things happened but I’m tired of the negative, so I’ll end it here.
Never Have I Ever (Season 3/Netflix) – I wish the episodes weren’t so short!!! 😭 I love this show and it made me laugh a lot – I needed laughs this week. And Devi has another hot boy to crush on? I don’t blame her, Des is a cutie!😍 I found myself saying omg…why is he so handsome?! lol…but okay how about that cliffhanger?!!!

What a week…it was bonkers. I did manage to complete a few books, which is good since I do have arcs to get through and library books too. This week was all about back to school for my kids and dealing with mornings, packing lunches, and busy school pick-up traffic 😣 (oh the usual!!). My daughter did get her kindergarten orientation and half day, I’m so proud of her! She’s officially in Kindergarten and I now have both kids in school. I hope they have an amazing year!
My family and I also had a pool party for a cousin who is here visiting from Ohio. I thought we were having blessed summer weather here in Hawaii, it’s been perfect and then August hit…and the wind has stopped, the humidity has kicked up. Yesterday at the pool my weather app said it was 87 degrees but felt like 95 degrees. And my daughter, who takes my husband’s side and has fair skin spent 4 hours in the pool because she didn’t want to leave her cousins. The max I usually stay at the pool with her is 1 hour. So yes her face today is sunburned! She even had a fever last night. And then…as if I had any energy to spare after the pool party, I had a concert to go to! 😣 I almost backed out but my friend offer to pick me up (which is out of her way). The humidity didn’t disappear and we walked from the venue to look for food…so by the time we were in the show my feet were killing me and I felt sticky. I This may show my age, but I went to the New Kids on the Block concert. Oh yes…I am a child of the 80’s and this was THE boy band that was popular. 😅 I loved New Edition too, another boy band from Boston. Boston was hot in the 80’s huh? 🤷🏻♀️
Obviously they don’t look like this anymore! LOL…and I don’t look I’m 10 years old so that’s fair! 🤣 I cannot believe this song came out in 1988. They are much older and Joey doesn’t have the high pitched boy voice anymore. You can tell it was a strain to perform lol, like Donnie Wahlberg was out of breath but hey…it was fun and they even played some 80’s and 90’s music to pump of the crowd. All their slow ballads reminded me of elementary school dances and crushing on boys!🥰
Now the opening act was TLC!!! And I was such a big fan because I was starting high school and these 3 ladies were all about woman empowerment, talking truthfully about sex, beauty standards, and even AIDS. Their music really made an impression on me and it was so sad Left-Eye is gone (she died in a plane crash years ago). Their songs really got me through high school. ❤️
Got home late because the traffic getting out of the venue so mid you I was exhausted and my daughter’s sunburn gave her a fever. My hubby said she was crying for me while I was at the concert 😭 so I gave her Tylenol and knocked out next to her. I woke up all achy so TODAY I get to rest and catch up on things.
So many things happened last week, I hope this week will be much more chill.
**I barely got this post ready for today lol…** so busy.😅

I slowed down a bit the past week because there was a lot of things going on with my kids getting back to school. So I just need a find a rhythm with summer being over. I’ll have more time to read when my daughter starts school on Monday!
This is it – the last day of July! 😩 Back to school for my son tomorrow and orientation week for my daughter so…here we go….
But this does mean, I finally get a few hours away from my kids FINALLY starting the second week of August. I don’t know how to act. 😅
Oh another thing I did the past few days was make an effort to update the graphics on my blog. I think I got it to where I will be happy with it for some time. (I hope.)

I feel like this past week was the last one of summer for me! This week starts a very busy week – my hubby is getting hernia surgery, my daughter goes for her Kindergarten placement test, and we got school t-shirt uniform pick and teacher meet and greet for my son on Friday! Gonna try and haul all his supplies on that day too. And that’s it, school starts for my kids on August 1st (for my 4th grader), my daughter will get a tour and orientation and a half day of school and then she starts full on August 8th.
Where has the summer gone? 😢 I’m mentally preparing myself for…everything! How was your week? Can you believe July is coming to an end soon?
Persuasion (Netflix) – a very cheeky, modern-ish version of Persuasion. It’s not going to please anyone who wants the movie to be exactly like the book but I think Dakota Johnson is funny and beautiful. Also Henry Golding is gorgeous! I kept an open mind and enjoyed it enough. My favorite Persuasion is still the one that was made in 1995. Now if they remade that one exactly I would be so happy.
Mystic Pizza (cable tv) – I have loved the movie Mystic Pizza since I was a teenager! I’ll never get tired of watching it.
