Of all the things I could get angry about, Amelie’s beam cartwheel is the thing that I still can’t really let go of. I am still so cross that temporarily losing a gym move, when she was only just 8, led to a bout of what I still think was just bullying and meant she […]
Cambridge Trip & Build a Bear
Halloween day time was spent in Cambridge this year waiting for Max to have his eyes lasered, a suitably (in my head) gruesome activity for Halloween. We had a very nice day there in fact, and did various things I want to blog as they were great, but I can just give you a taster […]
And now she is 8.
Josie, my little firework girl, is 8. I can't even say it seems no time, because so much has happened since, but still, I can hardly believe my littlest girl, my baby girl, is 8 years old. This year, for perhaps the last time, she still wanted all her presents from our shop; dolls, toy […]
Eye'll think about it.
Here is what Max wrote up about his laser eye surgery consultation. Yes, he’s done now, but this was very much part of the process so forgive us for being a bit behind. It’s been a hell of a few weeks! I’m mildly relieved to discover that he gave it as little thought as I […]
Halloween 2012
The Halloween costumes the girls created were probably the best they had ever done – and one advantage for me was I’m now very much a credit card facilitator of the whole thin; I don’t have to make! Fran and Amelie both adapted an idea from Pinterest. Fran had 10 metres of black netting from […]
Today
Today was a remarkable day, one of those days where there is an 'everything before' and 'everything after'. As a refreshing change, it was a good thing. A great thing. We changed Max's life for the better. It was a bit scary, but we did it. Neither of us can take the grin off our […]
The eyes have it.
Sometimes an opportunity in the blogging world comes along that is too good to miss; I didn’t entirely expect it to be this though, nor did I expect that it would be Max who got the life changing moment! But when your husband is so shortsighted he only knows it is you asleep in bed […]
WedEd loveliness Halloween/Fairytale style.
WedEd played a blinder this week; this group home ed meeting has settled into something that seems to work really well now and I mostly feel like I pull my weight, which makes me feel better. Bene is (temporarily I suspect) not too high maintenance there, so I can do a couple of activities. Once […]
If only my computer were organised like my Pinterest account.
Way back in 2004 or 5, I sold a software Hama Bead Design programme that was, for a while, a very hot seller. It is the one I still use to make the simpler Hama Bead designs we put on the sites to give people ideas. Most of my friends had a copy and I […]
Journeys End.
On Friday I will be decommissioned, put out of action, consigned to the reproductive scrap heap, put out to grass. My tubes will be corked and my fertility stoppered and there will be no more babies for me. I'm 38, I have had 6 children, been pregnant more times than a body needs to be […]
