SATs all folks!
I started yesterday with the best intentions to catch up on paperwork and blogging. We all know about best intentions 🙁 Ah well, lots of other stuff was achieved instead. As part of my continuing (ongoing, proactive 😉 ) campaign to improve Big’s self-esteem as she compares herself to school children and finds her education…
Cake, cookies, Guides and fundraising.
I confess that I wasn’t planning to join in with the Friday Club this week. I’m not much of a one for baking. I’m just not good at it. I follow instructions carefully, and at the end, get back something that looks nothing like the picture in the recipe book – it’s depressing. However, Big…
It's all about perception. Oh, and nutrition.
For some reason that I don’t quite understand, Big feels that she is behind where she would be if she were in school. I doubt that’s true. There are definitely things she hasn’t covered that she might have done, but there’s an awful lot she’s done that she’d not have done in school. However, this…
And still they came #100books
Few more reviews that the kids finished off earlier. Big reviewed There’s A Pharaoh In Our Bath! – her third Jeremy Strong of the week I think. And I took a look at the fourth Astral Legacies book, The Elephants’ Call, as sent to us by Top That Publishing. Small read and reviewed The Great…
More reviews from the children #100books
Big has been reading some Jeremy Strong, Read her reviews on Shinglestreet at The Battle for Christmas and The Beak Speaks. Small has read and reviewed Reviews at Worse things happen at sea and Safe Cracking for Students While three of these books were borrowed from the library, Worse things happen at sea was sent…
11 minutes left
for a quick blogpost to keep up the habit I’ve gotten into of blogging (at least once) every day. It’s been a good day. At 9 o’clock this morning I couldn’t forecast I’d be ending the day saying that though. At 9 o’clock I was asking Small to stop screaming shut up. Why wouldn’t you…
Questionaut, biology and yet more lego
So Big went away last night, dropped her off with a home ed friend, so that they could spend the day at UEA doing biology. By all accounts they had an absolutely fabulous time – she was full of it when I picked her up tonight. So that was excellent. Small managed mostly fine without…
So far today
I have run 1.54 milies in 14mins 50 secs. I have had breakfast and lunch, as has the baby. And she’s had two feeds. I’ve changed a nappy, showered (with the baby) and dressed us both. I’ve done washing and hung it out, and brought dry washing in. I’ve written eleventybillion blog posts in my…
Will you remember?
Do you even know today? What were you doing at 20:10 20/10 2010? Me, t’bloke, Small and the baby were at the table, eating as a family. Big was out. At 20:10 on 20/10 2010 she made her Guide promise and joined Guides. In a historic monument with hundreds of other Brownies, Rainbows and Guides…
