This week my Word of the Week is: Eventful! #WotW

This week my Word of the Week is:

My life seems to have two settings. Slow and a bit boring or full on chaotic. There doesn't seem to be an inbetween at the moment. It’s either tumbleweeds rolling by or I’m running around like a headless chicken. This week has been the latter with lots going on!

On Friday afternoon it was decided I was going to meet Stu from work and we were going to go on a little date while the girls were having their own night out. It sounds simple enough except at 3.38pm I was still sat in my pyjamas, make up free and in my comfy clothes after a trip to my dad’s. By 4.36pm I was on a bus, house locked up, hair and makeup done, dressed nicely and looking like I’d had it all planned for days. It was the fastest I had got ready in years. lol

The rest of the week carried on in the same chaotic fashion. Nobody seemed to be where they were supposed to be and by that I mean they've all been doing things out of our usual routine. The girls got back home after their night away on Saturday afternoon (they had a great night away), Ellie went off to see her boyfriend and was home later than usual, Becky was out with her friend on Sunday which doesn't usually happen, Stu had a few days off work and Becky too which was acceptable with it being her birthday this week. It was Ellie's first full week in college, well the two half days and full day that she does which is going to take some getting used to.

On Monday I was cooking a full on roast chicken dinner (it was amazing) and decided to go to the farm shop instead of just the supermarket for some carrots and cabbage and I am so glad I did. I always forget how much nicer everything is from there. The carrots were the size of baseball bats compared to the sad little ones you get at the supermarket.

Stu took Becky off to play pool on Tuesday afternoon and then Ellie met up with them so I had a few hours home alone and it was nice. As much as I love my family it doesn't feel like I've had much time to myself since Ellie finished college for the summer at the end of June and just when I think we're getting back into a routine the kids go and have birthdays and Stu takes time off work. hehehe

Wednesday was Becky's 23rd birthday! It still doesn't seem real that I am a mam to a 23 year old. I told Becky that when I was 23 she was already a few months old and let’s just say her face was a picture. She couldn’t imagine having kids at the moment as she’s far too busy enjoying life, as she should be. She certainly enjoyed Wednesday. We had a trip out looking around the shops, our first Pumpkin Spice drinks of the year, a family meal, she went out with friends and rolled in after 4am. I don’t know how she does it, I’d still be recovering now!

Ellie and I went to my dad's on Thursday to have a catch up and lunch with him. It seemed so strange being there on a Thursday as we always go to his on a Friday but yesterday Ellie and I had plans. She had an appointment and wanted me to be there and she also wanted me to buy her breakfast and a Pumpkin Spice drink from Starbucks. I was not going to say no! hehehe

So today I am home alone and I am very happy about it. I am planning on giving the house a good clean while blasting some music, burning my strongest wax melts which my family hate and then making my way to the kitchen to do some baking with the apples and pears which I picked from my dad's fruit trees.

Eventful sums up the past week perfectly. It’s been busy, a little chaotic at times but filled with plenty of brilliant moments too. I’m hoping next week brings a bit more calm and I am sure it will as everyone is back at work and where they should be and I don't have any plans at all! Phew!

How has your week been? I hope you have had a good one! I am of course linking up with Anne who blogs at Raisie Bay for her Word of the Week linky!
