A Weird Week: Busy Yet Not Quite Productive
It’s been one of those weeks where everything feels like it’s happening, yet somehow, nothing seems to get done. Does that even make sense? Probably not, but that’s the best way I can describe it! Between work, home life, and unexpected challenges, I’ve been on my toes all week, but it feels like there’s been little to show for it. Sometimes life has a way of throwing things at you when you least expect it, and this week was no exception.
Hubby’s Accident: A Rough Start to the Week
It all started last Thursday when Hubby had an unfortunate fall while out biking. He had decided to venture out on his own (without LP this time), and of course, he pushed himself a little too hard. After speeding down a hill, he lost control and fell off. While it was his fault for going a bit too fast, he still ended up hurting himself pretty badly. We spent Friday morning at A&E because he thought he might’ve broken his thumb. Thankfully, the x-ray didn’t show a break, but they gave him a support for his hand, and he’s been in a lot of pain since.
Unfortunately, his injury has left him unable to drive, write, or even type without difficulty, which has made things a bit challenging. Naturally, I’ve had to step in and take care of him, which meant my weekend plans were put on hold. The silver lining is that he’s slowly recovering, but it’s definitely been a bit of a rollercoaster for both of us.
Alton Towers Adventure Gone Wrong
Over the weekend, we had plans to head to Alton Towers to experience their new ride, Wicker Man. We were both excited about it, but of course, the weather had other ideas. It was snowing and freezing cold, but we figured it would still be okay since Hubby had checked the app, and the ride was supposed to be open. Well, upon arrival, we were greeted by an employee who informed us that all the rides were closed because of the -2ºC temperatures. Despite the long drive from Nottingham, we decided to cut our losses, head home, and try again another time. We’re hoping that this Saturday will bring better weather and open rides!
Blogging, Family, and The Countdown to Easter
This week has been a bit of a blur, trying to juggle work with my family commitments. With the Easter holidays quickly approaching (just next week!), I’ve been focusing on getting blog posts done and scheduled ahead of time. My goal is to spend less time working and more time with the kids during the break, but it feels like time is just slipping away too quickly these days. I’m hoping the next few days will be a bit more productive in terms of blog prep, but we’ll see how it goes!
LP’s Lunchtime Dilemma and a Hot Food Solution
Speaking of family, LP has been asking for something different for his school lunches. He’s been getting a bit bored of his usual options and mentioned that his friends take pasta for lunch. I explained that cold pasta might not be the best idea, and he wasn’t thrilled with the idea at all! But then, out of nowhere, he suggested that he might like to take something hot to school. At first, I thought it was a bit of a long shot, but after some digging, I discovered that there are actually lunch boxes designed to keep food warm! I was pretty surprised, and after a little more research, I found a small Thermos that would do the trick. We ordered it, and to my delight, it arrived the same day.
The next day, LP excitedly took baked beans to school in his new Thermos. He couldn’t have been happier! Now, I’m brainstorming other hot lunch options for him so he doesn’t have to eat baked beans every day. If you have any ideas, please share them with me in the comments! I’d love to hear your suggestions.
BP’s Cooking Adventure: Chicken Pie Time
Meanwhile, BP has been on a cooking kick. This week, he’s making a chicken pie for school as part of his cooking lessons. It’s been great to see him so enthusiastic about cooking—it’s something he really enjoys, and I’m happy to encourage his passion. I can’t wait to hear how his pie turns out!
But of course, LP is already eyeing up his new lunch setup, and I know it won’t be long before he starts asking for the same hot lunch options. I don’t mind at all; it’ll actually make meal prep a little easier if they both want similar things. I’ve been scouring Pinterest for new ideas (I even have a dedicated board for hot lunch ideas), but if you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them! It’s always nice to get new inspiration for making lunchtime more exciting.
