Must get a grip.
The day is evaporating, and I’m procrastinating. Right, some targets: Excavate kitchen so that I can make lunch but the children won’t eat it as it’s wholemeal bread Clear away washing in bathroom so that I can hang more washing … Continue reading
Brain hurts
Writing questions is nearly as difficult as answering them! Been a short day today – after a truly horrid night with the younger offspring, Tim let me sleep in til I woke independently – at 10 to 12! Told you … Continue reading
Interview me!
questions by Joanna 1. If you were an animal, what would you be, and why? Um, ah. Something in the cat family, but not too big. Wildcat maybe? Strong, independent, not too many natural predators, and not that much of … Continue reading
Perfect.
I’ve just rounded off the perfect day by breaking the mug that Big made for her daddy. Started the day by discovering that one of the three hosting servers I use was having difficulties (hence the appearing and reappearing blogring) … Continue reading

Been a long day
Sounds like it ought to be a song. Anyway. Hauled myself out of bed before nine this morning, with some determination that I would spend quality time with the children. And I did – it was variable, but there were … Continue reading

Finished
Second reading book: Goldilocks These Read it yourself books seem to be just about the right level. The inane guesses without actually looking at the letters in the word are still rather irritating though
Shoe-string Publishing
Shoe-string Publishing I’m gonna try some of this stuff with Big. I specially like the Feeling poems. Wishing I hadn’t chucked out that ancient desk diary now…but I’ve a feeling last years is still about somewhere

“What has happened to parental responsibility?”
Well you’ve got to laugh really, haven’t you. Contrast this with the last few months announcements about more and more “childcare” (the important thing is for mothers to get back to work, isn’t it?). Cheeky sods!
