End of another long week.

Have poured two very tired and grotty children into bed, and have browsed for a while, relisting the two things that didn’t sell, catching up with blogs, forums and lists. Don’t feel very talkative though.

I’d been really looking forward to spending some time with Kirsty this afternoon – she had the children today, and I was supposed to be finishing early so that I could meet her to take over. Unfortunately, I got dragged into analysing a live situation, and while I quite enjoyed the momentary thrill of being recognised as someone who can actually help and work on the system, I could have done with us sorting it out so that I could leave as planned.

Oh well. Got here in time for a cuppa or two, but with four hyper and rather loud children, wasn’t much of a chat. 🙁 My offspring went from bad to worse – Small actually tore out a handful of Big’s hair, in a very calm, sort of experimental manner. (To see whether she still screamed he did it again later in the bath. Aargh!) So like I said, I got them to bed. Suspect that they are curled up together sleeping – it certainly went quiet very fast.

Got some hard thinking to do this weekend, will keep you all updated.

  1. Awww sorry it ended so badly. I expect they both were extremely tired though 🙁 Shall I blog the next step in Big and Marcus’s relationship then ? 😉

  2. Ooh, Kirsty, please do. lol
    It’s the time of year for momentous decisions, it seems. Wishing you a peaceful hour, a glass of wine and a clear head with which to think. 🙂

  3. Would you believe I forgot about that?
    Go on then 🙂

How I Can Help

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.

Resources to Support Your Home Ed Journey

I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education.
