was getting More Milly Molly Mandy stories from the library.
Took a bit of effort getting there – getting very tired of asking dd to do anything as first I get no, then I explain why, then I get a huge sigh and ‘alright then, I’ll DO it’. Strange, I thought we were going to the library for her book…although we did also pick up Alan Thomas, Educating children at home, which I’d ordered. It’s interesting but a little dry.
Got my EO membership through today as well – beginning to feel like a real home edder. Except we don’t really *do* anything. Still, dd is only 4. But she spends an inordinate amount of time fixated on the tv – or expects entertainment laid on, usually when I’m in the middle of washing up, or doing the washing, or feeding ds. I’m not quite sure where the day goes, but I don’t seem to spend much of it on education at the moment. What is that quote, life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans? It seems to be what is passing me by while I’m busy doing I’m not quite sure what.
Picked up an entry form for a letter writing competition local to our library – there is no lower limit, and it doesn’t say anything about dictation not being allowed, so thought I might try to persuade dd to write to Milly Molly Mandy. Would be an interesting exercise anyway.
Nearly caught up on the washing now, and beginning to make some headway (oh so slowly) with the piles of clutter around the room. Got to get rid of some stuff! I’m thinking ebay, loft, charity shops, more storage, less buying stuff. Hohum, nothing like major life changes all at once to make you feel full of life and raring to go!
