well, we’re back

Been back most of the afternoon actually, but somehow feeling very flat and not terribly bloggish. This despite the fact that dd started writing herself in her scrapbook tonight - knows what she wants to put and just wants me to spell it out for her. Time for some more Montessori letter work methinks.

Thoroughly enjoyed the week away - didn’t think about any of the things that have been bothering me (apart from the one letter to the personal accident ppl about their forms) and I think it’s done me the power of good. Feels very strange to be without employment though. Spoke to my now ex-boss this aft, and he tells me that they are now looking for contractors and I should get my name down! Not such a bad idea if they are doing short term contracts - dp could do children things and I could earn loads of money without any responsibilities….worth considering anyway. If I can locate the agency they are using - he told me the name, but I can’t find it. :-(

Anyway, dd loved camp, and is already plotting for the next one - don’t suppose anyone found ds’s new car toy in their stuff though did they? I know it was a cheapo little toy, but it was the one I bought him with his grandma’s money….I know, I’m horribly over sentimental. And it might yet turn up - I haven’t emptied all the bags yet, so why I’m here on the computer is anyone’s guess…better at least go and make the bed - dp stripped it and washed everything while I was away!

Oh, and our gummylump order arrived (wonderful toddler cart!) and dvds of the blue planet. And I think that we might make a timeline, and we’ve geography things to talk about and tonight dd wanted to know “how does it rain when they make it?” Which turned out to be a question about weather and rain and why do some clouds rain, and others don’t and, oh, it made my head hurt, but in a good way!
