Celebrate the Small Things 18-9-15


This post is part of  Lexa Cain's bloghop, Celebrate the Small Things (Lexa has just taken it over from VikLit who has hosted it for the last 2 years). Head on over there to join up! 

So, what am I celebrating this week?



Can I say that it's over?  It's been a long, hard week and I'm very glad it's over.  I've been so busy my revising hasn't been going as smoothly as I wanted it to (although I'm still on track in terms of my timing).  I'm just feeling a little exhausted.  Which isn't great since next week is the last week of school before the kids go on vacation for two weeks.

But for now, I'm celebrating the fact I get two days off work.  My oldest son turned 11 on Tuesday and tomorrow we're having his party at the swimming pool.  Fingers crossed I can get through the afternoon with all 10 kids un-drowned!

One of our films won at the Venice Film Festival at the beginning of the week, so today we had a fantastic, hour-long Italian lunch at work.  Everyone brought amazing food and even now, at almost 9pm, I'm still feeling stuffed. It was a really nice way to end a crazy week, even if we did all have to go back to our desks and finish up the day afterward.  I think we were all a little happier than before lunch though, thanks to a rather potent tiramisu!

What are you celebrating this week?

  7. Happy birthday to your son! And congrats on the film winning! Even if the week was a monster, doesn't sound like it was all bad...not at all. And that Italian food would be simply awesome. What a way to end a week!

  11. Yay for the film winning and for great Italian food! I read your recent post too, so good luck with the revisions! Weird about the banned book. What is wrong with people? They get weirder and less tolerant daily.
