Its okay, she’s still here. Only just, but still here. Dunno what was up with her last night but she narrowly avoided being battered, i’m not sure i’ve ever got so angry with her. Normally her sleeplessness is itch related; well you just can’t get angry at that but last night it was a “where […]

So – camping in the top field only? People still going? That is going to be unbearably hard, my lot will miss not being up against the playground terribly.

Oh just hold me back. I’ve got to stop reading that list. Endless rants about women who dare to have sections, then someone asks for help to avoid one and guess what? Silence. Please let me remember how this feels when i’m a midwife… I think i’m teetering on the slightly depressed just at the […]

The girls have just discvered that, rather like covering a budgie cage with a blanket, you can stop Josie making her patented squeaky sound if you smother her with a blanket…. Hmmm…. must get off the computer.

Because the only way i can live with this is because i have easy access to this. otherwise i would have gone mad already! Anyway, the girls have played this this afternoon and evening, all at the same time and had a ball. They’ve been very co-operative and worked it out a lot. We’ve only […]

I think it would bve fair to say things are a bit fragile around here, mummy not least. However, i won’t dwell. What has been good? Maddy doing a lovely illustrated story, with foam sticking pictures, Fran playing with Josie beautifully, Josie talking away to us all. Amelie and i spending time sat down doing […]

No, its okay, i’m not about to burst into song!!! I thought i ought to just quickly round up yesterday, which wasn’t all me ranting about birth choices. Incidentally it got far worse after that, when someone decided to announce to the world-in-small that if you have a caesarean you don’t give birth to your […]

***I give you fair warning, this is a birth stories rant and i make no apology for it. Those of a delicate disposition should look away now. This rant is not at a single person i know, but its boiled over in me with the anger i felt at some list conversations i read today. […]

Fran spent much of the day on this very handsome set of gentlemen. Now, interestingly, or interestingly for me anyway, these are the pieces for a board game she is devising, the rules of which are unclear, except in her head. But she is clearly thinking a lot about it. She has done a couple […]

Ahem… no guesses who sat down and did this little selection of bead patterns today then? I think Maddy has got it bad… ;~D Well, today has been largely irrelevant in terms of home education. The kids have lego’d all day and aside from two very lovely sit down meals together, i’ve hardly seen them; […]
