A few days I caught myself imagining being given £1million a month for life. I realised, with horror really, that it couldn’t make me happier than I am. This is not a bad thing, because aside from tragedy, I think I actually am happy. Roughly £2K a month might take the pressure off financially, but […]

Day of Reckoning
I sincerely hope, when the day comes when someone asks my daughters what they most remember about me, they will remember the mummy who made cloaks for them more than they remember the ‘in a minute’ mummy who was often working and often crying. So this was my creativity today; not only making two cloaks […]
I'd love to remember last week but I can't
I do know I haven’t blogged the gym comp yet, so must do that at some point. And last week did include a history day, which I have photos for, so will do separately too. I’ll start from Saturday then. It was a cold horrible day and I hated most of it. Max went out […]
Largely wordless
In common with many of those in my dead baby mama community, a community I value but so wish I were not part of, I find myself largely wordless this month. I wonder if October just does that; the cold, the sense of death, the bleakness. Any hope of life being sustained, of a miracle […]
Oh, I hate that.
I’m not going to link, because it will just provoke something that I don’t want it to – and anyway, I agree with the sentiment of the original poster, just not really with what read as a slightly unforgiving commenter afterwards. Yet again, I’ve ended up really hurt and cross because of the “you need […]
Continuing on a theme…
We’ve possibly been having a mini-half term here – we’ll probably have one next week too, so perhaps we’re a private school 😉 Yesterday we had S and P here for the day; all the kids did some stuff round the table in the morning, some mathletics and mine did music and they played for […]
I just wanna be okay, be okay…
Actually, I hate that advert. Too many pregnant women and daddy’s nestling their babies. But I like the song. Yesterday there was a loud knock at the door, I answered and it was the lady collecting electoral roll data. Naturally this year i really haven’t got round to filling that out. (This is blatant hiding […]
Yesterday was mostly good
I don’t have photos. (I will take some!) However, after a morning of normals while I did a few work related jobs and the girls occupied themselves sensibly, getting on with things from their lists. Amelie and Josie then went back to a game they’ve been playing for a while; Amelie was “not well”, coughing […]
Be happy at Burghley – mission not entirely impossible?
I’m supposed to be finding things every day that I’m happy or pleased about at the end of it. This isn’t easy, mainly because I don’t seem to have the energy to create much movement at all and partly because being happy, being pleased and living has a measure of guilt attached, which is hard […]
Less a round up, more a brain dump.
I’m not even going to try. I can’t remember what we’ve done. Nothing so important that it really needs showing off about any way. These days the boring stuff gets recorded in diaries so I don’t have to blog it; we’ve not done anything worky that has been earth shattering anyway. Probably the best has […]
