Well, that was fun.

Not.

Have just left Small screaming himself to sleep after he had hysterics on being extracted from the bath. Honestly, I thought he was going to choke himself, he was yelling and coughing and crying in such confusion. Poor child, just too tired for words. 🙁

I know how he feels – much better run up today, although I had to take a scenic tour through Emley, it still took only just over an hour. Long day hunting down elusive bugs, then longer drive home hunting down elusive empty roads. 🙁 However, in good news, my new router arrived from Amazon today, so I’m hoping that I can get it configured at work tomorrow, and then fit in some work from home time, cutting down on the driving.

Right, I have tv to catch up on, tea to drink, emails to deal with, and a blogring to rebrand 😉

  1. …and NaNo, don’t forget that 😉
    (As someone who thought “ooh, what a good idea, I’d love to do that”, and then immediately thought “but this is *not* a good time for it!”, I’m feeling rather smug atm LOL)

  2. nah, I’m so far behind with nano that driving myself mad with it tonight won’t help. might spend some time sketching out a plan for the weekend writing binge, but I’m not planning on writing tonight.
    Got the blogring done already. 🙂 Oh, I reset the time offset on the blog – did you notice?

  3. sob on blogring rebranding! Also poor small. SB also just gone to bed after a beside herselfness.

  4. Yes, I felt a little twinge too. But when it comes down to it, it’s just a word. The blogring, the list, the community, they’re all bigger than the name, whatever the name is, or they aren’t really worth worryng about anyway.

  5. Well, obviously shouldn’t comment, as I’m not on the ring atm anyway, 🙂 but I see it even *less* as an early years HE blogring, than I did an MP one. To me, it’s just an HE blogring. Otherwise it’s going to be exactly the same problem when all those kids stop being early years. And they are growing up fast. I never saw it as being affiliated to any list. I think a complete re-think about the blogring brand would be good at this point. But that’s just me.

  6. gosh, sometimes mine is so *not* educational at all that I wonder if I should stay on it … how about ‘blogs by families who happen to home educate’ ring?!

  7. how about the “UK Home Ed Life” blogring?

  8. Yes, I like that Kirsty. And I’ve even had random trolls pointing out that I shouldn’t be on it for that very reason, Sarah 🙂

  9. I like that too 🙂

  10. And me…liking Kirsty’s suggestion, that is.

  11. Kirsty’s is good 🙂

  12. Amazing though, on my blog it has capital letters, on your it doesn’t!
