Ravenous readers and feeling the fear.
I really must start going to bed earlier. Although it isn’t actually half the day I miss out on, and Small didn’t get up any earlier than me this morning, so maybe I should just accept that mornings don’t really happen and evenings do. Hm. Anyway, was in the shower when friend and friend of…
I've got a 9 year old 🙂
So oddly enough, today has revolved around Big, much as it should on her birthday I feel 🙂 She let us lie this morning, although I think Tim went down for something or other shortly after alarm time, and then I was brought tea. We did present opening on the bed – she got mainly…
Disappearing day
Tim was summoned this morning as the media centre downstairs decided to defunct – there had been a warning crash a week or so back, but today’s was pretty terminal. So Tim has spent the day trying to get the other media centre to play – it’s working as a computer now, but not happy…
We will socialise.
Long day today (although not compared to a working day. That seems like another life already, although it’s not even a month ago yet). Got up with the alarm, or as near as I ever do, and tootled off into town to get yeast and stuff to take to HE group (bought dates, that’s Greek…
Sum total of education today
if you scream or pull faces, I will send you to your room. Hm, must be more than that surely? Not a lot more though. They are both immersing themselves in buildabearville, due to having the friend codes now. Small will play on the computer for a while and then wander away, while Big is…
The games people play
I thought Tim was setting his alarm, he thought I was setting mine, and the upshot of it all was I woke up at 10.50 this morning 🙂 I still seem tired this evening, dunno what’s going on with me atm. Anyway, by the time we’d pootled around a bit it was lunchtime and then…
And tomorrow?
The last question of tonight, from both children, was exactly the same as last night. What will we do tomorrow? But first, what did we do today? Well, I had a lazy morning feeling sorry for myself. I’m having a lot of problems with my hip atm, not quite sure whether it’s a reaction to…
Mummy…
what are we going to do tomorrow? Sigh. Every day this week I have had things planned to do with the offspring. Pretty much every day this week they have declined my offers and amused themselves with piratical activities, crafts, games, and computing time. I’m not sure that I’ve seen the TV on at all,…
Soft skills
Small appears to have missed out on development of a lot of so called soft skills so far. Not that I think many 5 year old boys have many of them tbh, but it is particularly disappointing that three years at a montessori school, instead of producing us a child who tidies up automatically at…
And the rest of the day.
That’s the third day running we’ve gone into town. It’s about half a mile there and back, with hills to add that little bit of extra, and of course on Monday, we did the library as well, granted that’s only around the corner, but still, it’s a walk. It means despite the grotty weather, we’ve…
