Ticking the boxes, and pondering.
Better get a cup of tea and a chair, it’s a long one 😉 Been a lovely day today, which is a huge improvement on the rest of the week. Well, it was OK when Mimi was round the other day, the smalls were no trouble, but Big and I are going through one of…
Reminding myself – well and truly edited now!
to blog about these things tomorrow. Small and birds, cats, dogs and ppl. Small likes animals. He quite likes ppl, but he is squealingly happy to see animals. We walked to the post office on Weds (posted the Hesfes form, yippee!) and every few steps he would stop, smiling, to point at a cat, or…
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…
In response to Merry
bribery was us! It’s Big’s birthday tomorrow. She has mentioned wanting a birthday cake. This morning I told her that we would go and buy one right after her swimming class, but that going relied on her behaving during the class. I emphasized the point that I do not mind if she can’t swim, I…
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…
Never let it be said
that I don’t learn from my mistakes. Today I have tried really hard. I have wet washing on the line (sigh) and wet washing in the machine (bigger sigh), the kitchen is trashed again, but was clean and clear before I started preparing our home cooked tea, and I shifted another bit of paperwork before…
