Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week, a nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is empty and you can read more about that below.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase but please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week.
There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week and I will add posts to Mix Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW
Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK
Empty
This week my kids have gone back to school which has left the house feeling rather empty. The Little Man went back on Wednesday, he didn’t mind that his sister’s didn’t have to go to school so he must have been happy to go back. Not that you’d know it.
The girl’s went back to school on Thursday. They were both nervous but Star was also excited. She told me that the SEND rooms had been moved to the first floor and she was worried about remembering where to go. As she spends probably 90% of her time at school in the SEND rooms I guess that was a worry, but she’d not mentioned it at all until the last minute, so I’d not had much chance to offer re-assurance.
So in reality it’s just been two days of an empty house before we are full again the weekend, but next week it’s a whole week. I do miss having my kids around…but I won’t miss having to think about what to make them for lunch every day.
Now it’s your turn. What word or phrase sums up your week this week?
I hope that Star managed to find the SEND rooms ok on her first day back. I can imagine the house must feel very empty with everyone back at school – it certainly is much quieter in mine with Sophie back. But yes, nice to not have to think about what to do them for lunch! Hope you have a lovely weekend and thank you for hosting #WotW
It is a bittersweet feeling isn’t it? They get under your feet, but every passing September seems to come around so quickly. Have a lovely week #MMBC
Our kids back to school this week too: seismic change in the house!
I know the feeling. So quiet. Soon get used to it and then it will be half term. I do miss my lot.
I can remember that empty feeling I would get each year when my kids would go back to school. Then I started teaching and I went back when they did! Enjoy your alone-time!
I haven’t noticed any difference this week, I’ve been on the early shift and picked Diddy man up from school as soon as I got home. Next week will be different, I will be on the late shift and I will notice his absence in the mornings…half term will soon be here 🙂 #WotW
It is quiet without them.. I can’t honestly say I’m complaining though, my two can be sooo noisy and much as I love music, hearing Sir’s blasting out of his room all day is not something I miss.. LOL Have a great weekend
I’m glad the return to school went well for the kids. I had to go to my dad’s on Wednesday when my youngest went back because I couldn’t stand being in the empty house worrying about how she was getting on. (she was fine). x
I normally miss them, when they go back, but this time…not so much! I think the 2 youngest have been off so long, I’m needing the break. I feel horrible saying it though x
