Well tbh it didn’t get a great deal better really 🙁 Rachel and E came over and I had a bloody good winge to her about everything, Scarlett mainly cried as she was too tired to stand up straight (I had tried unsuccessfully three times to get her to sleep this morning and failed) and …

So that went well then – not! Just thought I’d begin the first of our half an hour of schooly stuff and what sort of a fool am I? We had shouting at each other, sending to bedrooms for being distracting, tears, threats of sending to school tomorrow and much flouncing from the room being …

Today has pretty much lived up to its promise of being a good day. There has been no shouting, no unruly behaviour (from me or the children!) and plenty of TV watching, which has in turn led to lots of creative play so that’s fine too 🙂 We went to the library first thing where …
Hmmm, well at various points today I could have blogged (well yes I did anyway but that was about pictures and verse, not about the day we were having!) and you would have been given a wide variety of peeps into our world. In the main its been a crap one 🙁 But I kind …
I never wrote my novel I never modelled for page three No longer do I stand a chance of becoming The country’s youngest ever MP I didn’t marry into wealth I’ve no letters after my name I don’t have notoriety, Hero worship, cult status or fame I’m not a famous dancer I’ve never been on …
Still on the same song as for no real apparant reasons I am feeling that way this weekend. You know how you have dreams as a child which somehow you always feel will somehow come true? Various odd things (a film’s title sequence and content, a line in a song, a throwaway comment in an …

A good day although nothing of real note happened. Davies played up a bit resulting in a bit of a talking to from Ady – not sure whether to feel vindicated that he winds me up sometimes and it’s not just me, or sorry for him that he gets my wrath all the week and …

That both of my rants sorted themselves out too 🙂 Thanks for the support messages on both counts. I had a long phone chat with Julie about non-related stuff on Thursday night and ‘got over myself’ a bit on the taking all the toys out issue. Also spoke at length to Ady about it and …
Well we started as we meant to go on and we pretty much managed it. There were a couple of raised voice moments in there and Scarlett did get shut in her room for about two minutes, but we had all been up for hours and hours and were all tired and let’s face it …
Look into my eyes, and you will see what you mean to me… Listen. Do you want to know a secret? So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose… Reach out and touch somebodies hand… The taste of your tears just tears me apart.. My plan is to do some ‘worky type stuff’ on …
the nice stuff! And there was plenty of it so it deserves a blog to counteract my two rants. This morning we built a Drusillas again (think that might start to become a favourite!), both kids seemed happy enough to entertain themselves for various periods of time while I got dressed, checked emails etc (although …
And for once it is nothing to do with my own children!! Feel bad doing it really, but it needs to be got off my chest and here is as good a place as any! First of all other people’s treatment of other people’s belongings. Now my parents were always very hot on respect for …
And it was a good ‘un 🙂 Up early after a through the night night for Scarlett (which is always a result:-D) and out of the house by 10am. We drove to Drusillas and as Scarlett slept on the way Davies and I had a lovely time talking about all sorts of stuff. He started …
It did get better actually 🙂 Shortly after that last post Davies came and asked to play on the computer on the mazes again and spent a happy 3/4 doing that very well while I swapped over some washing and spent time with Scarlett – she helped me sort the washing into the tumble drier …

First the rant then… and before I even get started it is probably only fair to recognise that this is about me and not about them but the kids are driving me MAD! I started today with good intentions about getting our educational resources, doing worthwhile stuff with them and being patient and loving and …
But we baked one anyway! Up early this morning and two loads of washing were sitting motionless in the non existant breeze on the line by 11am – they may still be out there in March 🙂 In an effort to do something with the kids we have made a very good victoria sandwich sponge …
Some good stuff from today: Davies – he spent ages on the pc doing mazes and stuff and was really very good at it. He made a number 4 out of sticklebricks, he helped tidy up, he ate all his dinner, he told me he was proud of himself today, he totally got the idea …

You are all going to get pretty bored with me posting and tweaking and messing I’m sure but until Jax is free to be mithered by me again you’ll have to put up with it 🙂
