This week I have to say has been very much up and down, it’s had it’s up and it’s had it’s way way downs. So unfortunately I am going to have to say this week my word of the week is shocking.
The bank holiday weekend was a quiet one and we had fun at the Chase, visiting The Gruffalo which was nice and Boo had a great time exploring the fairy village carved in to the trees and seeing The Gruffalo. It’s amazing how much Boo has changed since the last time we were there in August. (and how much more hair she has! Every time I look at a photo of Boo from when she was under a year old I am always shocked at how little hair she had!) She was so interested in exploring everything on her own and in all the dogs that were being walked. It was crazily busy as it was a sunny bank holiday Monday though.
Tuesday evening was a bit of a shock after a received an email which I can only describe as the stuff of nightmares. I don’t wait to even think about it anymore but you can read about it here.
Wednesday was quiet day we spent a lot of the day with my mum which was lovely. Thursday was quiet too though we did, of course, pop out to vote and to do a bit of shopping. I also received a phone call from my father’s mother to let me know that my father has disappeared off to Thailand again, and will, in all likelihood, miss the birth of my nephew who is due in July. He missed my wedding and Boo’s birth too so I don’t know why I am surprised. I am just sad and disappointed that he didn’t even tell my brother and I that he was going, and I hope my brother is not too upset about the fact our father will miss out on my nephew’s birth.
We have swimming planned for this afternoon so fingers crossed we have lots of fun there! I am hoping the weekend will be better and I am looking forward to spending some time with Boo and my husband doing nice happy things and switching my brain off for a while!
Stuff of nightmares indeed – what a shock, the world is a scary place sadly. And yes so much more hair in the most recent of those photos too – hope there’s less shocks next week #wotw
It sadly is, I hope the weeks like this are few and far between, I am hoping next week my word of the week can be peaceful!
The email that you received is really shocking and scary that I want to hug my son now. He is in school and I ws suddenly worried. #wotw
It was scary, but thankfully things like this are so very rare
Definitely the stuff of nightmares, just the worst thing you ever want to hear as parents. I do hope you all manage to have a good weekend together and next week is only full of nice surprises for you x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
Thank you, I really am hoping next week my word can be peaceful! Though some pleasant surprises would be nice too =)
It’s amazing how quickly they grow isn’t it 🙂
That email must have been a real shocker, fortunate that it was before Boo’s time.
It really is, super fast, it is totally crazy.
I cannot tell you how glad I am about that fact.
So sorry to hear you had such a worrying email. It’s a scary world out there. Hope you have a calmer, happier week this week xx
Thank you so much, I need a peaceful week to recover!
That is horrific. It really is the stuff of nightmares. I hope that you are okay.
xx
It was, I am ok, I am just focusing on the fact that it was before Boo was there but also feeling so upset for those poor parents with children who where there at that time.
We really love the Gruffalo! It’s sound like we had a similar week. A Shocking one! Hope you enjoyed your trip tot he swimming pools. Sylvia wants to go swimming but it’s so hard finding the time between school and everything else she does. Angela x
Sadly we didn’t get to go swimming! Ah I am hoping all of our bad luck has been used up this week for a fresh start tomorrow!
Blimey, that is shocking and certainly is the stuff of nightmares. Hope you’re ok, that you’ve had the chance to do happy things and to switch off your brain xx #WotW
Thank you, I had had a weekend where I have switched off and eaten cake (can’t beat that). I am now trying not to think about it and what could have been!
