Word of the Week - Changes

This week has seen my son start in Year 2, my daughter start in pre school and me, well I have moved from my old office to one 30 miles further away.

An early start saw me leaving the house before my children were awake and getting a train, so my word of the week is changes.

Changes can be good but these changes are hard, after the first day I was exhausted and judging by the grumps from them that evening, so were the kids.

So what does the future hold, possibly more changes who knows but for now I have to keep going and hope that these changes are for the best.

Word of the Week

I think my word of the week this week is pride, for so many reasons. Firstly, my son got to go to the cinema for 100% attendance, he also took part in his French class end of year performance. He has picked it up so well and I am really excited to see him use it when we go to France in a few weeks time.

We  went to my daughters nursery to see where she would be going in September, she was extremely well behaved and the nursery nurses who currently look after her have nothing but the highest of praise for her. She has such confidence in fact so much so she went and stood with my son in his French performance and counted to 10 with them, in French!!!

My son has also been asking to do things round the house, making his breakfast and helping me tidy things away, my daughter insists on helping me set the dinner table and I couldn’t be more proud of the two lovely young children they have become!

I am really looking forward to what I expect to be a glowing report for my son, his teacher is constantly telling us what a lovely young man he is and how he is the perfect student and role model. He came home with yet another star of the week certificate last week and after a rough start in school life he has blossomed.

My heart is bursting with pride for my two wonderfully kind, caring and enthusiastic children, what more could a mother ask for.

My Word of the Week

This week saw me turn a year older, in fact it's a whole 21 years since I celebrated my 11th birthday.

So my word of the week relates to this, I had a wonderful birthday filled with lots of love and I mean lots of love.

So my word of the week has to be...

Grateful because of the beautiful people in my life, from my beautiful family who treated me to breakfast in bed and flowers. To my wonderful friend whom I have never actually met, but who means so much to me and sent me a lovely basket with wine and a gorgeous plant in (you know who you are). To the wonderful Kelly at Sun Jellies who sent me a little something and to everyone who texted and left messages on my Facebook wall.

Grateful to my wonderful mum who arranged a family get together and made me a cake and to my next door neighbour who plied me with some rather potent Pimms.

Grateful for my albeit slightly ailing health, but that I get to spend every day with my beautiful little family.
