I’ve been sitting here thinking about what my word for this week should be. No single word stands out as being just right.
After a tiring week last week, I had hoped my word might be quiet or sleep or recharging…
After my husband returned on Saturday afternoon, the weekend was fairly restful, as I had hoped. But, it also included an outing to a birthday party, which was fun but certainly not quiet!
Monday was the wee girls swim class; always a busy and fun, but tiring, morning. Tuesday the 5yo was unexpectedly off school, so not quite the restful day I had hoped for, frustrating for all of us! Wednesday was an early release (staff development day) so that means separate pick ups for the boys, rather than a single trip; followed by an Open House/Ice Cream Social at the 7yo’s school in the evening…
Today has been quiet, catching up on washing and housework. Tomorrow we have a coffee date with friends and then I’m *whispers* going out for the evening!
So, no one word seems to cover the mix of days. But, as I write, perhaps that’s it: mixed!
Which, I imagine is the case for most of us, most weeks. A mix of quiet and noisy; busy and relaxing; outings and time at home; good and bad. I guess the trick is making it balanced too… perhaps that should be my goal for next week, although I’m not sure how achievable that ideal really is :)

You’ve chosen a very apt word, your week sure has been a hotch-potch of events. Yeah, maybe next week it’ll be different…then again!
Thnx for the Linky x
Yeah… exactly, I can dream :)
Oh Sara! These sorts of weeks always leave you feeling a bit unsettled don’t they? I’m such a sucker for routine!! Have a brilliant night out though – you deserve it after such a busy week! Xxx
Yes, I can’t quite decide whether it’s been a good week or a bad week :)
Busy busy!!! I think you mixed also means balance but its just me. Have fun with the going out part =) #wotw
That’s actually a good way to look at it :)
I hope you have a more settled next week and a really lovely night out x #wotw
Thank you, quite looking forward to tonight :)
I fear that that goal might be unachievable! Sounds a busy week, and I bet it’s flown. Hope you have a fabulous evening out :) Thanks for sharing with #WotW
I fear you are right :) I’m just going to enjoy my evening out and start again tomorrow!
I have definitely been feeling like things *never* calm down – its Saturday lunchtime and this is the first opportunity I’ve had all week to catch up on blog reading & commenting and I hate ‘link dumping’ and don’t want people to think that’s what I do but there just seem to have been constant demands on me and its so difficult to prioritise sometimes! #WotW
The really never do, do they?! I’m not sure why I ever expect them too :)
Sounds like ‘hectic’ would have work equally well! Good luck with the whole ‘balance’ thing! :-D
You’re right actually :) And, I think I’ll need a lot of luck!
