Poor Josie has woken up with Chicken Pox this morning, which is odd to say the least since it was only yesterday that, hunting back through my blog to make myself cry with what a 5 month old should be doing, I found these pictures of Amelie from after she had chicken pox (lord, don’t […]
Orgo planning for the soul.
This weekend I’m going to:- *plan HE for next week including challenges & at least one bit of time out. *join some lists. *get back to the course I was doing. *make and submit a piece of art for Still Life 365. Done – evidence! *put all the photos into the brand I just ordered […]
Don't worry, I'm ok now
Things come in runs. On Tuesday, a gym mum asked me how it was going having a boy after all those girls and then today at TKD someone asked me “what did you have?” It’s beyond me to say “a boy” and not tell them he died – and not possible anyway really as the […]
After the love comes the breaking of my heart
Dear Freddie, Today you should be 5 months old. For the first time, I hardly know what to write to you. I’ve thought a lot about how this time 5 months ago we were so close and yet already so far apart. It was already too late. I think it was too late from our […]
Don't rock the boat, we don't have lifejackets
I think perhaps people underestimate the effect the last few months have had on the girls, perhaps because on the face of it, they appear to be doing so well. Although this is a blog about family, I’ve avoided talking so much about them because it seems a private thing, but sometimes I worry they’ll […]
Stories : Dreams : Grief : Friendship
I’ve cycled 300 miles since I left hospital without Freddie. I cycle the same route most days: around 3 lakes, over bridges, through gates, under trees. I listen to stories and I breathe and I keep a steady pace. Today I listened as Lyra and Will fell in love, found what it was to touch […]
My Little Branching Chart
I appreciate this doesn’t really look like maths. Or science. But it really was. Fran was doing branching charts and identification in her Galore Park science today; she had to design one to work out which of 8 figures was being identified. It took her a while (logical isn’t her thing any more than it […]
Chewing wasps and spitting feathers
Well. We haven’t really done so much of either. But I quite liked it as a title 🙂 Yesterday we started our new HE regime… for however long it lasts. In an attempt to pull together some of what has worked in the past, add a little of what we enjoy and try some things […]
Picasso Day
Art day again. Unfortunately I was having a basket case day, for a variety of small and imperceptible reasons, but luckily Zoe was on top form and carried us beautifully (thanks and sorry!) Started off with Zoe talking to them about Picasso from various books and then they tried something Maddy did at the art […]
Perceptions
I’m seeing the hospital grief counsellor at the moment; I’m not convinced I really need to, or that it can do me any good, but it isn’t doing me any harm and she’s nice. One of the things she says to me a lot is that I’m very hard on myself and that I don’t […]
