  • Achievements of the day

    We’ll start with the darker ones so that we can end on a high note. Major achievement – getting through the day without throttling either child or bursting into tears. Not quite sure what’s the matter with me atm, must be partly stress related to the fact that I *still* haven’t heard about the results…

  • Where's Kevin gone????

    Aargh, they changed everything on CBeebies, and for the first time in ages we’ve got Nick Jr on at bedtime – where’s Kevin and the bedtime song? What’s a Jimmer Jammer when it’s at home? Although it has to be said that Small seemed to rather enjoy it, he was bopping away with the best…

  • Scenes of domestic bliss.

    After yesterday’s less than educational offerings, determined to do better today. So imagine my joy at all of this being self determined! I think the pictures speak for themselves 😉

  • Blog or washing/ washing up?

    What do you think?! But fairly quickly, as I do want to get some chores done tonight so that they aren’t waiting for me in the morning. So it’ll be a bit stream of consciousness I’m afraid, as there’s a few things batting around my head I want to get out. First of all, there’s…

  • Clearing up my desktop

    the virtual one 😉 and found this. Can’t remember whether I ever posted it, so thought I really ought.

  • Very varied.

    Got a better nights sleep – made Tim sleep next to Small 😉 Mooched around a bit trying to get motivated – Big didn’t want to do anything, and I’ve gone off trying to force the point. I think part of the problem is that I engage in the debate, and by doing that, I’ve…

  • Out and about

    for pretty much the whole day. I was operating completely on autopilot this morning which would explain how I managed to get to the Chesterfield group with only about half of the stuff I set out to take. Hohum. The good news is that there is another woman who has small children who is interested…

  • My adorable offspring

    Both of them. 🙂 Missed Big this morning – had to get Small’s breakfast all by myself! Seriously though, did make me realise that somewhere along the way it changed from being slow waiting for her to do whatever it was she wanted to do to help, to suddenly being really useful having her doing…

  • Small's finally asleep

    he nearly weaned himself this evening. I don’t think he meant to wean himself, but I’m afraid that I take being kicked in the eye as a sign that we may not be doing this for much longer. 🙁 Why can’t he just lie still? Anyway, some blogworthy educational moments, in no particular order. Lots…

  • Long and active day

    Started the day early (how often do I post by 8.30am?) by getting organised and going to Chesterfield to meet V for a swim. Not quite sure what happened, but there was no V (did we arrive too late? We were quite a bit later than expected). Big was very disappointed, but she did enjoy…
