Thank you #WotW linkers! Great to have you joining us. If you’re new here, Word of the Week is a nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. You reflect back on the past week and sum it up in one word. Then share your word with us in a blog post, with as little or as much explanation as you like. I comment on and tweet out every post, as long as you add my #WotW badge or a link back to here. It’s a fun and friendly linky, so please do be lovely and visit as many of the other blogs as you can and share with them your thoughts on their words and weeks.
My word of the week this week is:
Oh yes, it’s felt busy, active, and full! It’s been one of those where I have had to concentrate to be sure I know what day it is – you know the sort, don’t you?
It’s been a week filled with plenty of activity. At the weekend, we squeezed in shopping, Boo went to a party, gardening, seeing family and the Husband went off to play golf. Since then, I’ve had parcels arriving daily, due to the Christmas shopping I’ve been doing and various blogging assignments, so lots to sort and enjoy. We’ve also had workmen here giving us quotes for various bits and pieces we’re looking to do around the house, and it’s felt like there’s been one after another, and I’ve been juggling the visits with the dog barking at them the whole time and Little Man telling them to ‘go away’! I’ve been out and about with the kids, helping out at Boo’s school and visiting a lovely friend and her newborn son – I feel like I haven’t actually stopped all week! And Boo and I had a girls night out last night. It’s so very, very rare that she’s up after 7pm, especially on a school night, but we were out until after that time, at a blogging event – it’s stationery-based, I could not resist! We had a great time, Boo was very lively and excitable, so I’ll post all about that next week. Oh, and my least favourite ‘lively’ element of the week? Little Man has been lively when he should have been sleeping! Most nights this week have been bad ones, so I’ve been getting through the lively week, feeling a tad less lively than I usually do! To top it off, Boo’s been constantly singing and practising for her Christmas play, where she has a main part so we’ve lines to learn. I think I know every song now, and they’ve certainly offered us a lively soundtrack to our week! All together now, ‘My life is getting very busy….’ Oh yes, so apt!
What about you? What one word sums up your week best? Please grab the badge, link up and share. If the linky’s messing about, select the ‘generic’ image and it should allow you to enter then. Have tried wrangling with it and improving it, but it’s just not playing ball today!
Linky opens at 6.30am Friday, to midnight on Sunday.
A very busy week for you this week! Why is though that weeks like that often seem to coincide with more disturbed nights too? Sounds like you are very organised though – I still need to start my Christmas shopping. Hope you manage to get a little more sleep over the weekend and thanks for hosting #WotW x
Oh, it’s always the way, isn’t it?! I am organised, but it’s starting to run away with me, but get a handle on everything again! x
Wow sounds very busy!!! Can’t wait to read about the stationery xx
I can’t wait to share it! x
Sounds very lively! My son has been practising his Christmas songs-it feels like 5 minutes ago my daughter was singing them and now its his turn. I’m at an advantage in that i already know most of the words from first time around. I hope Little Man settles down for you soon x
Oh, I do hope so. Feeling it today! Thanks x
Sounds like a great week, apart from the disturbed nights, hope Little Man has some better nights soon.
Look forward to reading about the stationery and thanks for adding me in x
The stationery is fab! Thanks and you’re very welcome x
Phew! Finally was able to link-in after countless tries… It definitely sounds like you guys have had a lively week. Ours was a bit slow. Hopefully next week will be different! x #wotw.
Phew! Very lively, and I see no signs of it slowing! x
It certainly does sound like a lively week! I know what you mean about parcels arriving, as you will in my WotW! Hope you have a lovely weekend xx
Very! Ah will take a look soon …! x
What a busy week! It all sounds a lot of fun! I think my postman is sick of delivering to my house….hehehe
Oh yes, mine definitely is! x
Wow, that does sound like a busy lively week. It does get so hectic the nearer you get to christmas. Sounds like a fab stationery blown event.
Definitely, I could do with a bit less lively! It was brilliant 🙂 x
Wow, that is a busy week, lively is a perfect description. I’d say that I hope next week is calmer, but I know you thrive on being busy 🙂 Do hope you get some more sleep though!
I do like to be busy, but it was a bit too much this week! Thanks x
Sounds really hectic, but fun! Hope you have a chilled weekend xx
We’ve got a busy one lined up! Thanks 🙂 x
Oh wow – you have been even more busy than usual! Love the fact that Little Man told the workmen to go away! EJ was exactly the same when our Polish plumber came to survey the bathroom before it was refurbished! And he has also been a bit too lively at bedtimes too – to the extent that I’m now thinking his naps might have to go *sob*! JJ is going to be a shepherd in his nativity and yes, we’ve had a few new songs round here too 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend X
The poor man didn’t know how to respond, and he said it repeatedly until he did go away! Oh no! The nap thing crossed my mind this week, too, but no, I’m sticking with them – hope you can, too! Have a good one yourself x
It sounds like your week has been full of busy. Almost the exact opposite to my week!
I don’t know why, but children always seem to turn up their lively dial a few notches when you have had a busy week! Maybe take a leaf from my book and have a lazy day this weekend petal x
Oh, they always know! If only I could, but no, lots planned! X
Wow! It sounds like you’ve been spinning plates! I love the sound of your girlie time- definitely a perfect reason for a late night treat! I hope the work around the home goes well.
We had such a lovely time together – I want to do it every week now! Thank you x
I think ‘lively’ is an understatement, what a busy week! xxx #WotW
It was pretty busy! xx
Hi Jocelyn, don’t you just love it when little ones are lively passed their bedtimes?…Thought not!
Bet it was exciting for Boo to have you all to herself and to be up late. Hope next week isn’t so lively for you!
Thank you for hosting.
Oh yes, I adore it!! We both loved our little trip out, is was fab, thank you. Oh, me, too! x
Gosh sounds like you’ve had a very busy week too! There are so many different bits and pieces competing for attention at the moment! I hope little man’s sleep settle’s down soon – being extra tired definitely isn’t what you need… X
Nope, it does make things a bit harder! Thank you x
