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

This week my Word of the Week is:

For the last month or so I’ve got into the habit of sitting down to write this post with one clear word already picked out in my head. This week there were just too many words that I could have used, I had options and that is the word I am going with.

It could have been sport! I keep saying I’m not a sports fan but I've had another week of watching quite a bit of sport. There was another F1 race and plenty of football too. We’ve had a couple of Tottenham Hotspur matches on in the house and then there was the Newcastle United match on Tuesday. Oh my goodness, what a game that turned out to be. They were playing Barcelona and for a while it actually looked hopeful and then it all went a bit wrong. One mistake, a penalty given away and from that point on it just went downhill. They lost 7–2. Eek!

It could have been poorly! Poor Becky hasn’t had the best week. At first we both thought the hayfever had started early but after a couple of days of a snotty nose and scratchy throat, it became pretty clear it was a cold. Not the worst cold in the world but enough to be annoying. She has carried on with life, with a pocket full of tissues and thankfully hasn't passed it to the rest of us. Then there’s my dad. I had a chat early in the week and he mentioned he had a bit of a tickly cough, but when I rang again a couple of days later to check in, it had definitely got worse. He's fine in himself and just has a cough. Oh, and a sore throat now from all the coughing!

It could have been planting! I planted plenty of seeds over the weekend. Some flowers, sweetcorn, tomatoes, onions, peppers, cucamelons and strawberries. They are all sat on the windowsill in the kitchen. It's the perfect spot for them at this time of year as it gets all of the sunshine. I am hoping to see them growing any day now! This year will be the year that I successfully grow strawberries. I have never had any luck with them.

It could have been early! I don't usually go to bed early but this week I have, all because I have been getting up early. It all started over the weekend. I had planned to have a little lie in on Saturday but woke up early as the curtains weren't shut properly, the sun was in my eyes and on Sunday, I was up earlier than I would be on a Sunday because it was Mother's Day and I wanted to make the most of being waited on hand and foot. hehehe There was also the fact I wanted to watch F1. All week I have been waking up early which of course means I have been going to bed and going to sleep earlier. It’s not a bad routine to fall into but I don't feel like I am getting that quiet time on an evening when everyone else is in bed.

It could have been holidays! This is the time of year when work holidays start getting booked and it always turns into a bit of a battle. Stu and Becky both have to think ahead, especially when it comes to family birthdays. They always try to take those days off, which is lovely but this year it’s going to be a bit tricky as a lot of the birthdays fall on weekends and everyone wants those days off. It is going to be a race to get them booked and Stu it up for it and is checking the holiday app every few hours and Becky is a little more chilled but keen to get her dates booked in.

It could have been T-shirts! That's all I've worn for most of the week, only putting on a jumper or hoodie later in the evening when it has got colder! It has felt nice to have some sun on my skin and I do have so many great T-shirts which haven't seen the light of day. Becky even got me a couple more for Mother's Day with my favourite wrestlers on. They're oversized and are so comfy, I can see them getting a lot of wear over the next few months.

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 to join in with her Word of the Week linky!
