May have walked too far…
Yesterday I had a lot of twinges in my right side, particularly when pushing Small in the swings at the park. I thought that having a quiet day might help. So obviously I didn’t. Did have a bit of a lie in, but then after that, decided I would go round to the Summer Fayre…
Cake, park, yet more swimming.
As planned today, Small and I baked a cake this morning. He doesn’t get terribly involved, apart from in licking the bowl out 😉 ,but he was there, and we talked about measurements, he did a bit of stirring, and when I asked him to get Tim to check what the equivalent to gas mark…
That exciting day 🙂
Began with a little more excitement that I’d had planned, when the phone rang and it was WF (will just have to borrow that for now) saying that she’d heard on the radio that the road was blocked so there was no point in setting out just yet. Bother. There isn’t really another way around,…
A quieter day
with a return to funking on my part. Started with the delivery of the final part of my Amazon order, Understanding English – Spelling for Key Stage 2 for Big. She glanced at it and discarded it, as they were still engrossed in the Spiderman set. Ah well. Spelling was on her list of wishes,…
A day of deliveries, outings and swimming.
Am attempting to drag myself out of bed slightly earlier in a morning, which is working in terms of less friction between the children, but isn’t doing my energy levels much good. I’m really tired all the time! But there you go. Anyway, got up to find that the parcel from Amazon had arrived, containing…
Two for the price of one
days that is. And I really mustn’t do this, if I don’t blog the day slightly after the fact, I lose all the details. Let’s see, I’m trying to remember Sunday. It started slowly I think, with children’s tv, most of which I loathe with a passion. But the children seem to enjoy it. Big…
Don't they know it's the weekend?
I think it was as I was getting my breakfast that I overheard Tim explaining Stone age, Bronze age, Iron age to Small, another conversation prompted by observation of one of his castle figures. From there somehow they moved on to looking at flags and coats of arms and that was what he was showing…
Some much needed socialisation
for me! The children attend Brownies and Beavers, and on Tuesday Big starts swimming lessons. I offer a variety of other opportunities to get out and about, and they take me up on walks to the beach, library outings, shopping. They aren’t much into groups though, which means I don’t get to spend all that…
The personal stuff
Went to doctor’s about Small this morning, referral to community paediatrician set in motion. Not sure what they do, but there you go. That was after I’d slept in, I’m not sleeping well during the night, so given that I’d arranged for Tim to get up with the children, when he did, I turned over.…
Meet Jax, the entertaining educational machine.
As promised to the children, my alarm went off at 8 am this morning. Given that I didn’t get to sleep until well after midnight, despite being in bed before it, then woke again at 5 and did that horrid drifting dozing thing for a couple of hours, it took me several minutes to force…
