{missing} my weekly round up – I know I’ll regret those holes in the archives when I’m looking back at our lives.
{feeling} like wading through mud would be easier than living through days steeped in depression. I want to be happy. I can’t remember how. I can’t find any energy to do things that might help, and it feels like the small things I try too often go wrong. One day at a time feels like an eternity.
{trying} to still keep doing and being.
{remembering} Kentwell.
{counting} achievements. Today I found the bottom of the washing basket; went swimming with three of the children; found most of the pieces I cut out years ago for a blanket coat for Smallest. Or possibly Small. Whichever, I think it will fit Smallest. I had planned to make it up today, but see swimming.
{making} Audrey Hepburn. I had to frog her chest area – the instructions weren’t clear enough for my slightly foggy brain, and I basically managed to put her breasts on the side instead of the front. Not a good look. Even in a little black dress as they are. Still trying to keep going though.
{painting} wet on wet, watercolour. Do we like?
{wishing} yesterday’s weather hadn’t been a one off. We even picnicked in the garden, it was so warm. Glorious.
{begging} for nominations in the MAD and BiB blog awards. Links are in the sidebar, pretty please and thank you.
Snapshot
Big has finished term two. Only one more to go. Fingers crossed it’s all going well. She had to rearrange a college interview due to sickness, but hopefully we have that sorted now. Small is loving his iGCSE course, and is coping well with it. Which is good as he had today off with a stinking cold. Hohum. Smallest is doing well with her swimming – great confidence in the water, so different from the last time I took her. Her main problem appears to be natural density – she sinks 😉 Tigerboy moment of the day when approaching the elephant water slide – you don’t need to catch me, Big, I’ll be fine. Seconds later he disappeared under the water, and had to be fished out. Look on his face when he came up had me quite literally crying with laughter.
Have a few more pictures. (I’d put them in a gallery but mobile WordPress doesn’t seem to know about galleries sadly.)
