This week my Word of the Week is:
I could have used other words to describe our week: relaxed, calm, quiet but I have decided to go with lazy. That's how I've felt. Ellie has been off college for half term and it has been nice to have a lazy week, not being productive at all. It's been a week filled with no plans, hot chocolate and playing games on our computers. I haven't really done much apart from catch up on TV shows that I've been wanting to watch and the minimum amount of housework and cooking. I am actually amazed that I haven't spent more time in my pj's. I have made a point of getting dressed even if it was just leggings, baggy t-shirts and cosy jumpers.
I mentioned in my Friday Favourite post about how we have had lazy mornings and the laziness has just carried on for the rest of the day and week too. Life has been busy for us since the start of the summer so having a week off from taking Ellie to and from college has been a lovely break for me. Sitting on my bum on my armchair is much nicer than sitting on buses. Ellie has enjoyed the break too, college is hard work and the days are long.
The most productive thing that we have done is cut and dye Ellie's hair, that was a chore. She has been undecided about her fringe, whether to keep it or grow it out. She still hadn't decided when I started cutting her hair, it was that much of a last minute decision. She's keeping it and it's at that stage where it's too short to push behind her ears but too long to keep on her forehead. She says it's very annoying. hehehe
We of course went to see my dad during the week, we had a fast walk there trying to warm up and a slow walk home as the sun had came out and we were sweating in our big coats. My dad was not expecting us and he was being far from lazy. I gave him a telling off for working too hard. He stopped to have lunch with us and then carried on working. Eesh!
Yesterday was the only non-lazy day that we had. Ellie and I were up early and went to town, met up with Becky and her girlfriend and had a look around the shops getting some ideas for Christmas. The shops are really starting to fill up with all things Christmas now. It's crazy to think that this time next week we will be in November. Yay! We also treated ourselves to lunch out which meant I didn't have to do much cooking last night as we were still full up.
The holidays from school/college are not going to last forever, Ellie only has this year and maybe another in education and then I won't have an excuse to have a lazy week so I am making the most of it while it lasts.
We have one little last bit of laziness over the weekend with the clocks changing, we get an extra hour in bed. Hooray! I probably will still get up at my usual Sunday time of about 10am but the extra hour will be nice.
I hope you have all had a good week! I am of course linking up with Anne who blogs at Rasie Bay for her Word of the Week linky!
Sometimes you just need a lazy week especially this time of year before things start getting really busy. The weather has been odd this week, the same as you I've gone out in a big coat only to have to take it off again. I'm hoping for some frosty mornings soon. Have a nice lazy weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou've had the week that I wish I had more of often, lol. Anyway, so glad you enjoyed it. We had a sad week with serious illness of a family member but as we were told to 'hush' about it, we wont have a word of the week post this week on our blog. I just realise that 'your' half term break is the week before 'ours'. . Hope you enjoyed catching up on your favourite shows too..
ReplyDeleteSometimes we need and deserve a period of calm,laziness.
ReplyDelete"the minimum amount of housework and cooking", sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteOur lazy week is just beginning as the kids have only just broken up. It's not really going to be lazy though, I've lots to do, including something really exciting, but I'm not mentioning it just yet. It's nice to have my car though! xx
ReplyDeleteLazy is the best way to be over the term break! I can’t believe that it will be November next week. I keep checking the calendar and counting days then panicking about all the things that are coming up. But it’s a good kind of panic because it’s my favourite time of the year! 😊
