Knitting and ecotech.
Today was my deadline before my second extension for my TMA, so obviously I was frantically writing it up and trying to finish it off yesterday. :/ Wonder if I’ll ever get to a point where I don’t run my head into deadlines before I start doing something about whatever it is I’m doing? Anyway,…
it's the weekend
Not that you can really tell much difference around here tbh, the children play as they always play, and if they get bored I pull something else out, so today Small was doing another Bond paper, this time maths. I printed the 5-6 this time and he was very cross with me, as he wanted…
A good couple of days
Tim decided against sleeping on the floor at old house and came back in the middle of the night, meaning that I didn’t need to roust the children out and catch a bus to the hospital, but could instead drive, on my own. I was very grateful for both these points 🙂 And then when…
Library, gardening and Weakest link.
Yesterday, after lying around feeling sorry for myself for a while (which seems to be a common theme among my friends atm 😉 ) I pulled myself together and took the children to the library. Big decided she wanted to have another go at reading the Deathly Hallows and checked online that they had copies,…
And another day passes
Tim and Small finished putting the curtain rail back up this morning and thus the computer/ tv ban was over, so they celebrated with a viewing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I saw a game, Harry Potter Scene It? 2nd Edition DVD Game, in a charity shop the other day that I…
working out which way is up
Actually did some stuff with/for the kids today – unpacked five boxes labelled craft shelves in the hope of finding the cards, and only found one kit, but it was enough to get them both set up making birthday cards for forthcoming celebrations. Big was also particularly thrilled to use her embossing tools, as we…
Backdating…
Getting behind with blogging, this is the story of Monday, typed up on Tues at Merry’s, and posted from the Beans on Weds 🙂 Can’t be bothered to change the date though! After the children get bored they move on to what is a more productive phase, depending on how you look at it. For…
Yet another weekend.
I was very tired yesterday, not least because Tim and I stayed up unfeasibly late the night before catching up on TV 🙂 (As an aside I highly recommend Big Bang Theory – Season 1 [2007] especially for those of us with geeks or nerds in the family 😉 ). So I didn’t really do…
Things other ppl forgot to tell me.
Got a voicemail from D, stepfather yesterday. Apparently it’s the coroner’s inquest for my sister today, which obviously I can’t go to as I’m in CP, but various other family members are going to. Felt very excluded and emotional for a bit, but that was all wiped out when Big had a major tantrum (think…
Soft skills
Small appears to have missed out on development of a lot of so called soft skills so far. Not that I think many 5 year old boys have many of them tbh, but it is particularly disappointing that three years at a montessori school, instead of producing us a child who tidies up automatically at…
