Making the most of what is left of tranquility! I definitely don’t remember previous babies giving me a bruised tummy button… Anyway, after this mornings decent start, Max and i decided we needed to give all the girls some quality time. There seems to be a certain amount of nervy anxiety going on at the […]

*GRIN* Just left a deposit on a car. A nice V reg peugeot 806 with 6 seats (which hopefully will prove a self limiting exercise!) which is in nice condition and feels pretty great. Quite surprised to discover its only 3 inches wider than ours too; all the older ones i sat in felt much […]

Generally speaking… …this week has ended better than it started. In fact this morning was one of those mornings when everyone wants you and keeping up is a minor miracle! Fran did a fabulous array of stuff, which despite its boringness in terms of what i want for her, really showed that she is “getting […]

Oooooh that was unnerving. About 8 o’clock last night, just as i was finishing my tea, the baby suddenly started to do something very odd. Odd enough anyway that i had to climb off the sofa (slowly), put my head in a cushion and breathe deeply for some time. And i couldn’t talk. I don’t […]

A Lula… according to Maddy is… …a bit like this. It has a rectangle body, a long tale like an Iguana, a giants face, tiny black eyes and a biiiiiig mouth. She even drew me a picture of one. Auntie Gabor is standing in the background too.

Slightly better i suppose. I think i started today with lower expectations (well, given i was howling into my pillow by 7.30am it was a requirement really) and that helped some. Dropped Maddy off again and then decided that the best way to start was with some one-to-one for Ammi so we got hot chocolate […]

Just keep swimming….just keep swimming…. Hm. Trying hard to find something positive about today. Well, Maddy went into her new class without a backward glance, for which i am proud of her and pleased that she is so comfortable with it, if slightly bereft. For some reason the whole taxi thing went tits up anyway, […]
