Snuck in some education

while no one was looking 😉

Bit of reading (very little bit, very tired girl again tonight), and also some personal stuff, when Tim managed to set off the smoke alarm before they fell asleep. We’ve never had a fire drill – in effect we did tonight. It worked rather well actually, think even Small got the gist of it.

And that was pretty much that. He had a ten minute melt down after I tried to get him out of the bath (after a long bath, 10 minute warning, 5 minute warning, big getting out, he got lots of clues!). Only person I’ve ever seen have tantrums like that was my youngest sister, and we always blamed her red hair. Guess it’s not that then.

And now I’ve not even reached 10k on nano, and this is a rather pathetic blog post. Got to go to bed though. g’night.

  1. Is not pathetic!
    Education today also included: Care of small animals (Small doesn’t like them squeaking at him!); More reading; A time line type discussion on when Christmas and Birthdays fit into the year; Why food goes mouldy and plant reproduction umm, and lots of role play stuff.

  2. S’not pathetic – dunno how you’ve got that far tbh 🙂 You are a saint 🙂

  3. waaah, Jax, my blogs and email are all down and have been all morning – what’s going on?

  4. So are a bunch of CP hosted sites – I’ve fielded a couple of emails and calls (why they’re calling me I have no idea?) any way I told them you knew (text) and would deal with it later.
    Hope that’s ok.
