Tag: won’t cook, can’t cook
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…
We had our quiet day
after I got another decent night on the pullout bed. Apart from the backache 😉 Mainly today we’ve pottered. Finally got around to doing some more work on Big’s scales – I’m taking piccies as we go along. We played the piano a bit – by a stroke of luck I opened the children’s song…
Doesn't the world look different
from the other side of 7 hours sleep? Horrendous evening trying to get Small to bed last night, resulted in me in tears downstairs after 45 minutes of trying to settle him, while Tim did finally succeed. Really couldn’t face another night of the wriggling, writhing, hair pulling and scratching, so went and slept on…
Look what we found!
Not done much with the children today – instead with the help of Claire we’ve excavated the dining room! We even found a piano in there…. There’s an awful lot of books too, but you knew that already. Small is very quiet and sorry for himself – full of cold and possibly teething as well.…
What an excellent day
Employing the head in sand approach to the financial situation again here, but hey, it’s working for me 😉 Bad night with Small – he went down at about 7.45 last night, but was restless all evening, Tim settled him down then came down for a coffee and I was working on the computer. We…
By contrast, today really was quiet
I should have done some shopping. We’ve got friends coming round tomorrow, I should have done some tidying. I have lots of work to do, I should have done some of that. (Well, OK, I did do some). I also broke the blogring, but come on – did anyone notice? And it’s back now and…
And to round up
It’s quarter past seven and Small is in bed asleep – unheard of! Big is upstairs with Tim having her bedtime story, and I am savouring the silence… Let’s see, we didn’t do everything I’d hoped for, but we did a fair bit. Big did some more of her workbook, filled in a form to…
Socialisation rules OK
Started the day by embarassingly falling asleep again as the children tootled off downstairs. Oops. Eventually woke up and came down and fed them – Big can do breakfast for them, and usually does while I’m getting my cup of tea, but she can’t put Small in his high chair for him to actually eat…
What's an outfox?
‘What’s an outfox, mummy?’ ‘I have no idea – what are you talking about?’ ‘Swiper outfoxed Dora – so what’s an outfox?’ Light dawns… It’s been a Dora fiesta today, and Big still went up to bed in tears because she couldn’t watch yet another episode. Sigh. I did washing, more washing, some shopping, some…
Sound of the day: t
Well, we didn’t make it to home ed group. For whatever reason, Big is wound up like a tight spring this morning, and although I am aware that it is my own behaviour that requires modifying in order to improve hers, I was struggling to find anything good to praise her for, in between the…
