MY WORD OF THE WEEK – LUCKY
This week I’m trying to turn things around a little. It’s been a tough time and although we are still having problems, I know they are never going to be easily solved. So, I go with my instincts and focus on the positive. This week I’m focusing on being lucky.
I feel lucky that today is the last day of my Star’s exams. She will have some more minor assessments next week and then school is over for her. Finally, I feel lucky that I have a child that has finished Secondary school despite all the problems caused by Covid.
Today I am going for my second Covid Vaccination. It’s been thirteen weeks since my first and I was getting worried, but then I got a call and I was lucky to get in today. My eldest son was also asked to go along for his first vaccination. This was worrying me because he really doesn’t deal very well with having to go somewhere new without me and I believed I would have difficulty getting him to go. Then he got an appointment at the same place as me, at the same time. So we can go together this afternoon. Once he has been, he should be okay to attend his second appointment alone. That has made me feel really lucky!
On Tuesday, Star had telephone interview with the college she wants to go to in September. Star is not very good on the telephone and her anxiety was awful. The man who called was really wonderful and had her chatting away to him in no time. She passed the interview and now all she needs is a reference from her teacher and the place is hers. (if she fails her GCSEs she will be given the option to do them again alongside her chosen college course.) I feel really lucky that we have this settled now, it’s such a huge weight that has been lifted. We have had a virtual tour of the college and we will take her along to see where it is before she starts. (It’s really not far away and in a lovely area.)
My eldest daughter was lucky enough to grab a new PS5 console, they are like gold dust at the moment so she had get up early and keep refreshing the website, but she did it in the end.
I also feel lucky that we have a holiday in the UK booked already for this year. We were supposed to have been going last year but they let us keep it until this year. The holiday park we are going to have even reduced the cost of our holiday. We are planning on a quiet holiday and are just looking forward to being somewhere different and near the sea. We can’t wait.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
I love this! Sounds so good to ehar good news and it makes me feel good so it must be extra great for you!
I’m hoping your jab (and your son’s) go well this afternoon. And cheers to having a great time away when you do get to go on holiday.
This post has been a real mood booster for me.
Lots of luck coming your way this week! I’m so happy that Star has got her GCSE’s out of the way and sorted her college place. Hope your jabs go well this afternoon, would it help your son if he could go in a side room (if they have one)? I asked for Sir and they were very accommodating.
I am glad you are turning things around and finding the positives.
Well done to Star for finishing school and I hope the last of the exams have gone well. That is great news about the college interview.
I hope the vaccines for you and your son has gone OK and you’s don’t suffer any side effects. x

It must be a relief for Star to be nearly finished with her GCSE assessments now – hope all went well with her last exam and so glad that her telephone interview went well for her college place. That’s great that your son managed to book his first vaccine for the same place and time as your second one – hope that you are both feeling ok today and not suffering too many side effects from this. Glad you have a holiday to look forward to as well – we managed to move our planned Christmas break to the summer and it is nice to have that to look forward to. #WotW
I love this word, lucky. It’s a positive affirmation for sure and just embracing the word as you look back is also incredibly healthy I think. There has been research on gratitude and its affect on people. Congratulations to your daughter on finishing school and being accepted in college. I’m so glad you’re going for the your second shot and your son his first. Everyone can breathe a little easier after they all have shots. #MMBC
What a lovely positive week! Long may your lucky streak continue #MMBC

It’s great to hear that you have had your second vaccine, I had my first last week and already feel relieved that I have had one.

It does sound like you had a very lucky week. I’m so glad you and your son both got your vaccinations at the same time and place. I used to be very much like this but I think my age and having kids has got me over it a bit. I’m so glad that Star got accepted at college. The fact that her GCSE grades won’t be an issue is fantastic news. I didn’t know PS5’s were still so hard to get hold of. I’m out of that loop though to be honest #WotW
