At least this week has been slightly calmer than last week’s weekly photos post. Tyler is well and truly on the mend. He is a bit washed out, but he’s lying down to it at all. I really wish he would at times. Last Saturday he was back to playing two games of football for his team on Saturday morning. It was a nice day so the rest of us went along to watch. As you can see from Tyler’s face above he is back to his happy place. Once finished, we had some lunch and headed down to the shops and the library. Aria had some books to take back and picked up her summer reading challenge certificate. Usually, they bring them out to the school, but there was a bit of a mix-up with hers and she missed it. They made a big fuss of her in the library as they presented it to her so she was delighted. She maxed out her library card and proudly marched them around the shopping centre in her summer reading challenge bag. The boys got haircuts while Aria and I shopped for a new game, hungry hippos. My poor head is clearly regretting that choice of game now. lol. Robert and I managed a relaxing Saturday evening, with a takeaway and catching up on some Blacklist and Good Girls. I may have fallen asleep. It’s been a busy week.
Sunday morning and another football match. This time for Lucas team and yet another one Robert coaches. It was one of those matches that has been hyped up at school into an old firm rival. Unfortunately, on this occasion, it didn’t go their way and they lost 5-4. Tyler had football in the evening and Aria and I went to gymnastics. She is doing really well.
And just like that, the weekend was over. Another busy week was due to happen. My mum is still away. But, I did capture a pretty cloud photo above. I love cloud formations and finding out what they look like. What can you see in the clouds above?
Monday was a long day at work. The boys had football, Lucas had two lots of football. He’s had a bit of a better week, so far. He is looking forward to the early FIFA 2020 access and we might not see him for a while, but we will certainly hear him. He gets very vocal when playing that particular video game. Aria and I read some books before bed and a chapter of a Worst Witch book. It’s lovely to share these books I loved as a child with her.
Tuesday I did school hours and took Aria and Lucas to table tennis in the evening, while Tyler and Robert went to football training. I had a 121 literary agent meeting during my lunch break at work on Wednesday. It went well and I got lots of positive feedback on what I sent. Plus a few pointers of how to make my synopsis stronger. That was exciting. I was kind of drained trying to juggle it all though and work was so busy. It is all about that balance and now I’m back to vigorously editing. I got some done on Tuesday night when at table tennis so that helps. It’s all about fitting it in when you can.
Not sure at what point I thought it was a good idea to clean out the oven before I went to work on Thursday morning at 7 am. The oven had been smoking the night before as I must have spilt some of the chorizo on it when making chicken and chorizo kebabs. It stunk and was driving me nuts. I certainly felt like I’d done a shift before I even left for work. Thursday was another busy day and Aria and I fitted in a wee trip to the supermarket to pick up some of her favourite cereal. I even did my online food shop for delivery at the weekend as I have a busy weekend ahead.
Now, we are on Friday. And what a gorgeous sunny day it is. I hope you are having some sunshine this weekend? I have a busy day at work, finishing early to pick the kids up. A few chores and then my weekend is filled with an online writing conference called WOWCON which I have signed up for several workshops. I’m not getting to go to Blogon this time around, so this will help. Plus, it sounds great. I’m hoping to pick up some tips and I even did a one-line pitch. It’s all practice after all. I am looking forward to spending some time with the kids and enjoying the nice weather. I do love the autumn, it means chilly, dew dropped grass and beautiful sunshine. I took the photo of Aria above this morning, Friday and the sunshine was coming through. We are all ready for the weekend. I think we are all still recovering from Tyler being in and making sure he was ok. This weekend we have two football matches, some training and gymnastics. What are your plans?

Glad to hear Tyler is doing better. A lot of football in your household! Rather like gymnastics in mine! Great look of concentration on Aria’s face there too.
Thank you, me too. Aria does gymnastics, but not as much as the boys x
Glad Tyler is on the mend, nothing stops football does it! I love looking at the clouds too, even when they are dark and moody. We’ve had some sunshine but I lay in bed listening to the rain last night and it’s not stopped today. It sounds like your book is coming along nicely. xx
Me too. he was driving us all nuts. I do love clouds too. Thanks hon x
I’m glad to hear that Tyler is on the mend and is back on the pitch.
It sounds like Aria had a lovely time at the library. hahaha! I remember Hungry Hippos well. I now understand why my parents didn’t encourage my brother & I to play it. It’s so loud!
I used to love the Worst Witch books when I was a child. My girls have read some too.
I hope the online writing conference went well. x
Me too, he was driving me nuts. Yeah. I am kind of realising that too. The conference went well x
Glad to hear Tyler is all better now. It sounds like another busy week for you all, with some good progress on your book. I hope the writing conference went well for you.
Well done for cleaning the oven! x
Always busy it seems. Thank you. It didn’t quite go as planned x
Glad Tyler is on the mend. I hope the writing conference went well this weekend.
It didn’t quite go to plan with the kids x
Glad Tyler is back on the mend – poor little fella.
OOH I love Blacklist, we are 2 seasons behind I think #argh haha 🙂
Thank you for linking up to #SilentSunday x
Thak you. It is a good show xx
Glad Tyler is better. I’ve had a cold all week, and not shifted yet – it’s been going round work. Saturday was wonderful weather here – I was at Blog on as it’s fairly local this time for me. Then dodging the rain today for N’s first tennis matchplay tournament of the year
Oh no, I hope you feel better soon. I hope you enjoy Blog On xx
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the online writing conference! Was definitely weird not being at BlogOn this time! Sounds like you have had a much calmer week compared to last week. Good to see Tyler is on the mend, I love his attitude, just get on with it – the smile shows he is happy to be back playing football! Sim x
It was good, but didn’t go to plan with the kids. I can imagine it was weird. Did you miss it? Yes, he has that kind of attitude xx
I hope you enjoyed the writing conference and pleased to hear Tyler is on the mend. Are Aria’s ears freshly pierced? those earrings look cute
It was good. No, she’s had it done for a while xx
Looks like you have a very determined footballer there #mysundaysnapshot
Oh he is that xx
Glad he is well and truly on the mend now and back to playing football, You did make me laugh the other morning when you were cleaning out the oven before work. We have just finished Good Girls, what a great show x
He is. He is crazy. Oh I know, I was mental. I am loving Good Girls. I think I have two episodes left. Something a little different xx
Glad that Tyler is on the mend, kids are resilient X #mysundaysnapshot
They are aren’t they? x
Tyler being better will be a huge relief to you all. I did not think he would stay off his football for long.
Sounds like it was time well spent on Tuesday lunchtime and glad it gave you pleasure and more ideas, think you deserve some me time.
Busy busy family again, not sure where you and Robert get the energy over and above work and the house.
It is a huge relief. I think he went back so soon. Thanks hon, didn’t quite work out as planned. I don’t think he does. Thank you x
Sounds like another great week!
My Corner of the World
Thank you x
Glad to hear that Tyler is much better. He looks very confident. Well done to Aria for finishing the summer reading challenge.
I haven’t heard of WOWCON online course, but will check it out.
Thank you. She enjoyed it. The conference was a lot of fun x
It looks like a busy week for you. Congrats to Aria for getting her certificate…& Her hungry hippos game. Congrats on the positive feedback on the 121 meeting. WOWCON & BlogOn both sound fun.
You’ve really had a busy week. I salute to you for making it through this week.
I see small piles of wool scattered across the sky (not so creative, huh?)
Thank you. It was a good week. It is a bit like that with the clouds xx
It must be nice doing school hours sometimes and being able to do clubs and school runs. Every Tuesday Troy has football now and I always think of you 🙂 x
It is nice and it means that it is a bit more of a balance. Aww that is lovely, hope he is enjoying it xx
Glad to hear Tyler is on the mend. Hope the conference went well, very exciting having a meeting with an agent. Sounds very grown up. The weekends really do seem to fly by don’t they?
Thank you, he is doing well. The weekends really do xx
My gosh your weeks sounds jam-packed-crazy-busy but you get so much done! Such lovely photos of your little man in his football gear and WOW you amazing woman you – cleaning your oven BRAVO! Thanks for sharing and for linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
It is the only way. Thank you. Oh it was smoking, I had to 🙁
Sounds like life is ruled by football! It’s all gymnastics & Brownies in our house at the moment! #MySundaySnapshot
It pretty much is. We have a small amount of gymnastics but not as much as football xx
Hi Susan, well done Aria for completing her summer reading challenge. It’s nice that she enjoys reading… It sounds as if Tyler is well and truly on the mend, which must be a relief!.. Cleaning my oven is a whole morning affair (probably down to my procrastinating). It’s not something I would even attempt before work!
Hope you had a good weekend?
xx
Thank you. She loves the reading challenge. He is on the mend, I am so glad. I wish I’d never started the oven clean. I did, did you? x
They really are, aren’t they? x
