Yet more boring boxes
Have spent another day processing boxes – Tim removed a stack to go to garage at old house, and tomorrow I must remove some of the steadily accumulating charity shop and rubbish stuff or I’m going to run out of places to put boxes to process. It feels slightly liberating, although I feel terribly guilty…
spinning in circles.
Yesterday I got organised in the morning and took Tim’s car into town, drove it round the town centre three times, then gave up, parked it in a vacant space on a cross road, and carried four box loads of charity shop stuff to the Forget Me Not trust shop on the main road. Each…
the rest of the day.
Big has been attached to the couch, reading Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince. She finished it this evening, and pronounced it very sad, thus proving she’s made of sterner stuff than me, as I wept copiously 🙁 She wants to discuss it, but it’s a bit difficult as I don’t want her to blow…
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…
Boredom is good for them.
Over the last day or two, the children have started to get bored of the television and computer. This shows quite simply – they fight, which is not so good, and then they start to do other things, which is better. Big has played recorder and piano two days running, and they are both still…
Unsuccessful charity shop scouring
Given the number of Harry Potters in print, I find it slightly amazing how few there are in the charity shops in this town – our only find today was Azkaban, and we already have two copies of that. Oh well, we are sorted from the library right atm, I just wanted to be sure…
Politicising the offspring.
This afternoon Big and I have wrapped IT and civics together by sitting down to talk through and complete her response to the current review on home education. Her identifier was 1103, so the numbers are climbing steadily this week, good. Tim and I have had several conversations about it all, and it’s pretty much…
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…
Fitting more in
The children seem to have reached a stage where aimless wandering through the day is insufficient and they are both looking for something more structured to do. So I came down (late again, have stopped taking the diclofenax, would rather have the pain than the way I felt last night thank you very much) to…
Go to your room!
Whenever I send a child to their room atm (happens a couple of times a day for Big, couple of times a week for Small) they snatch up a book/ workbook whatever, and stamp off in a huff, and forget to come back down when the five minutes is up 🙂 So tonight they were…
