Word of the week #1
Just discovered a fun blog linky that I saw on Twitter called Word of the week on The Reading Residence blog and am inspired to take part. So my word of this week is:
And perhaps ‘don’t forget’ as well.
“Remember, you have to get up early this week. So start going to bed earlier.”
“Remember, we have to get new school shirts before Thursday this week.”
“Must remember to label new shirts.”
“Remember, swimming starts this week.”
“Remember, trim your nails before Thursday!”
“Remember to get your school bags ready on Wednesday evening.”
“Don’t forget to wash your hair Wednesday evening!”
“Remember to dig your school shoes out and polish them for Thursday.”
“Don’t forget to get your lunch box ready.”
“Must remember to get lunch box food!”
“Remember, Jonah does NOT need a lunch box this year so don’t get his ready!!”
“Don’t forget your glasses and glasses case!”
“Remember to organize your pencil cases and tell me if you need any supplies.”
“Don’t forget to go to the store to get school supplies!”
“Remember your PE kit.”
“Must remember to check PE kits.”
“Must NOT forget to get Jonah from school at 3pm. Must remember to leave the house at 2:45pm. Better set the alarm!” (I tend to get very engrossed in work and sometimes forget to look at the clock!!)
“Remember to put your lunch box in your bag.”
“Don’t forget your keys!”
So yes, remember! Is there anything we’ve forgotten?

That’s a great word Meghan for back to school week. I also like the ‘don’t forget’ angle as well 🙂 Hope your kids survived the first days of school.
Thanks Cathy. I have this niggly feeling that I have forgotten to remember something!! Hope you’re week is going well too 🙂
So much to remember!! You’ve just reminded me that I need to label my eldest’s school uniform for when she starts next week…eek! x
Labeling kids’ clothes can be a serious thing! I get mine from http://www.nametags4u.co.uk both iron on and stick on and you can make them pretty too 🙂
There is so much to remember when going back to school….I think I remembered everything….hehehe x
That’s great Kim! Hope this week went well for you 🙂
Lots to organise and remember! My daughter’s just started school, so I’m thinking I’ll take on your tip and set an alarm on my phone for pick up time! Hope it’s all going smoothly, and thanks so much for joining in with #WotW
Hope you’re daughter is enjoying school! Thanks so much 🙂
There are so many things to remember before the term starts! I hope your kids had a good time going back to school #WotW
Thanks! Sound like you had a wonderful summer and even though it’s over, we have next summer to look forward to!
I know I’ve already failed to remember a few things since the boys went back to school 🙂 Great word for this time of year! #WotW
Thanks Sara. Hope all is well with you and the start of this new term 🙂
