Week in READ-view is a post I have posted on Sundays telling you what I have been up to this week and what I read or am reading. The Sunday Post is a meme sponsored by the awesome Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Itβs a chance to share news, post a recap of the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
On the Blog, Books & Real Life:
Well lets start with Monday, Ryan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and said “The top of my hair was bothering me so I cut it” …..WHAT!!!! I couldn’t really see it but when I walking into the bathroom there was a ton of hair in the garbage. He has very fluffy hair so I took the razor and told him, “Sorry buddy but I need to buzz your head now” So Monday night I shaved his head, we have a little electric shaver so it took a while and he had to take another shower to get all the hair off of him…That was fun!
Wednesday, my husband and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary and went out to dinner. We stuffed ourselves with yummy food and a pitcher of sangria. After dinner we walked around Target, because that’s what we do every year for some reason and then headed home to get the kids to bed. We had a nice night out and did a lot of laughing and chatting about the past 14 years.
On Friday, walking my daughter home from school a few 5th graders were starting to fight. I was going to break it up anyway until a High school kid grabbed the 5th grader and slammed him against a car. I went insane, I screamed at the kid to let him go. The High School kid was acting like he didn’t do anything and his friend had a metal pipe in his hand. I yelled at the both kids and told them I was going to call the cops for putting their hands on a 10 year old. They got lippy and walked away. I went back to my daughters school and informed the principal about what had happened and hopefully they will do something on Tuesday when the kids go back to school….so…that was fun!

So tell me what have you been reading and up to this week?
Hope you all have a fantastic week!!!
Happy Reading
That sounds like a crazy week Michelle! I have no idea how you manage it!
Oh my! 5th graders fighting, and then having high schoolers try to get in on the action? I would have gotten mad, too… I hope it’s all sorted out, now.
I am curious about all your cool ideas, Michelle π I have a few myself, and I hope I’ll be able to write some of them up in my blog ahead, too. It’s so nice to finally have posts scheduled in advance once more.
Have a wonderful rest of the week and happy reading.
Wow, you have had quite the week! That’s crazy about the fight and the high school kids though. It’s just good that you were there and that you stepped in the way you did. Sorry about your son’s hair, though it is kinda funny lol. Kids will be kids, I guess? At least your date sounds like it was nice! Happy late anniversary, and have a great week π
I am just glad I was there even if the school may not have done anything but I am not sure since I didn’t see the principal today.
It’s very funny and I am glad it was him and not my daughter. That would have been harder to fix lol.
We had a great night, Thank you! We needed a night out.
My granddaughter also cut her hair this week. She has extremely curly hair and supposedly one curl was bothering her, but she didn’t know which one and a huge chunk is gone. Happy belated Anniversary.
I guess it was that kind of week, lol. I have curly hair and cutting just one can make a HUGE different, I hope your parents were able to fix it.
Happy Anniversary! My kids never cut their hair but I did when I was little. It was a big mistake lol. Luckily you were able to fix Ryan’s hair. That is crazy about the kids fighting and good thing you were there to stop it. I hope they were disciplined. A Stolen Kiss sounds good and I hope you enjoy it. I’ll plan to join your monthly TBR meme next year (I can’t now since I am overwhelmed with too many challenges again lol). I hope you have a great week!
I am very glad it was him and not her. It’s easier to fix a boys hair lol.
Stolen Kiss is cute so far. π
I hope you do join up. It’s really a lot of fun and I have read so many books I never thought I would get to.
Happy anniversary! So glad you got to celebrate in some kind of way. That’s so cute that your tradition is walking around Target. I am already behind with Blog Ahead. I don’t know if it’s going to work out for me this year.
Thank you, Not sure how it became a tradition but for some reason we always wind up there. lol
Even if you get one post done you still accomplished something. π I have no posts done either since I plan to spend the month drafting everything and wont really know how many I got done until the end when I schedule what is finished.
Happy Anniversary. I just trimmed my sons hair as I could no longer see his eyes. LOL Can’t believe he let me. probably because I threatened to take him to get it all cut off. LOL Bravo for stepping in for the young boy. I can’t stand bullies.
Thank you! That kids always keeps me on my toes.
Wow you had quite the exciting week. Happy Anniversary ! Yay for blogging ahead. I am working on my Nov/Dec posts now and trying to limit the books I accept..bwahaha…I AM WEAK! Hope this week is a tad quieter.
Thank you, I am so excited how ahead I seem to be. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never limit my book intake lol.
Sounds like you had a busy and eventful week. Cutting hair always seems easier than it actually is. But hey at least you had an excuse to cut his hair now.
Aww sounds like you had a great night out with your husband with good food and a walk around Target.
Wow that’s scary about the fight, but that’s good you managed to break it up and informed the principal.
I still have 3 reviews or so to write for October, but I have to read the books first. After that I can focus 100% on November and later. That’s great you got your October posts all done already. Good luck with Blog Ahead. And I hope you’ll have a good read soon that isn’t a DNF!
And yay I see book and a monster is starting this week! I am looking forward to see everyone’s posts. And that’s awesome you won a book! Have a great week and I hope you get t read something good!
I am not sure what he was actually trying to do but he needs to just leave it alone and let me know next time. lol
We don’t go out often but when we do we always have a good time.
I am hoping the principal will do something otherwise I need to go to someone higher up.
I have a few posts left for October but nothing that needs to be done right now, so I am excited to get started on November and December.
It all starts this week. I loved everyones posts , I can’t wait to share them!
Wow, you had an eventful week!! Hopefully next week is nice and quiet π Have a great week!
I am hoping for a nice quiet week π
Oh my goodness! I would have freaked if I saw that. I hope the principal takes care of it for you! Hope you have a great week and enjoy your new reads. Happy anniversary π
I did sort of go crazy! Even though both kids in the original fight are problem kids at the school, it still didn’t mean a High School kid could get involved.
Thank you! π
Happy Anniversary. I can only imagine shaving the kids head. Too funny. The fight…kudos for stepping in…but that was dangerous. You never know how people will react. Take care and have a great day.
Thank you! My son is an adventure for sure, always something new with him π
I’m so glad you stepped in on the fight – it could have ended so badly. I probably still would have called the cops, because that pipe suggests intent! But if you notified the school, you did plenty. This is why I’m not sure I’ll ever teach anything but Kinder.
Happy Anniversary!!! Hugs to Scott as well. I think it’s funny that y’all always stroll target after dinner. Is it to de-buzz? I wonder if Kiko and I will/should celebrate our usual April anniversary now or the new August 1…and do we celebrate 1 year or 12? Hmmm.
Oh Ryan! I’m LMAO! so buzz cut it is. I think every kid does something like this at least once. I tried washing my hair by myself… But used soft scrub instead of soap. Oops.
Have a great week! Miss you π
I was going to but I thought going back to the school would be better since they know the kids involved and I didn’t. I took my friends son with me to give names but I am hopeful the school will do something otherwise I will go to the superintendent.
Thank you! We don’t know why we end of in Target. It is across the parking lot from the restaurant we go to and it’s good to walk around after eating so much and maybe de-buzz π You should totally celebrate both!
OMG SOFT SCRUB!!! That must of burned your head! Ouch. Ryan is an adventure! Always something new with him. He keeps me on my toes.
So not cool about the high school kids. Why would they want to get involved in a fight with 10 year olds anyway? Sounds like serious bullies and the worst kind. I hope the school does something. That sounds entertaining about Ryan’s hair. The good things with boys is that you can buzz their hair. My oldest decided the only way she could get a brush out of her hair was to cut it and figuring out how to make it look not crazy took some creativity! Good luck with your reading and finding a book to stick. Have a great week!
The older kid was walking their brother home and the brother was a friend of the kid in the fight. I thought it was horrible that the older one pushed him like that. I am hoping the school will take action or I plan to call the superintendent and tell them also what happened.
Ryan is a handful but I adore him. He looks good with his buzz and it will always grow back so he wasn’t worried. I already threatened my daughter to NEVER so that or I will buzz her hair. π
Wow, what a week! Good on you for breaking up the fight, but the kid with a pipe… that could have been dangerous. High schoolers shouldn’t be messing with 5th graders though, so maybe it’s good you were there.
Happy anniversary!! Glad you guys had a good night!
Your monster posts look fun. Baba Yaga and werewolves? Yay!
I kept my eye on the pipe kid, he might have been more scared of me than I was of him since he kept walking away and flapping his lips. I honestly hope the school handles it because that just wasn’t right.
Thank you! We had a great time the food was so good.
I am looking forward to my Monster posts, I have some great ones this year and I am looking forward to them posting. They all gave such great suggestions and posts.
Well, you had an exciting week! π I could just see you yelling at those High Schoolers! π Hope you find a book you like and don’t DNF! I hate when that happens. Have a great week!

I was so mad and the kid was so disrespectful. Like that is how you speak to an adult? Kids these days are going to have a very hard time finding work if they don’t know how to respect people.
The DNF madness needs to stop, I am slipping into a slump, I don’t need right now. I am hoping the current read and the read-a-thon snap me back out of it.
