I must admit, I thought it would stop. I thought a point would come where the anxiety would cease and the old person would take over again. The person I was who kissed better and brushed off sickness and hurts and assumed that they'd just be better next day. Two an a half years on, […]
Semantics. Conversation. Truths.
In the doctors the other day With Bene, not yet as poorly as he was today sat on the floor, an old lady asked me how many children I had. And I replied, as I always do “I have had six, he is number six”. Across the room another lady chipped in; “Six! How did […]
A night at the MADS
As you probably know, I was nominated in several MAD blog awards recently. I should probably get it out of the way quickly and say I didn’t win any of my categories and am therefore not nearly inspiring enough to interest any of you further 😉 However, I did have a brilliant night and I […]
Eye see that could help.
In this family the six of us who have been around long enough to have opinions or indeed eyesight anyone can be sure of, divide into two halves. There are the people with summer birthdays and then there are the 3 of us with winter birthdays. We divided neatly down that line in many things; […]
Tick tock, goes the clock.
Dear Bene, And now you are eight months. I was so buy last month that I didn't even write you a letter, though I did write about your first holiday. Sorry about that. You keep me pretty buy these days little man and everything else has needed attention too, the house, your sisters and life. […]
Re-vaulting change.
If you are a long term reader, you’ll know that by and large, with a few additional activities thrown into the mix, dance and gym are the absolute loves of my children’s lives. Dance, singing things, playing things, performing but gym plays a huge part in their happiness for three of them. The other girl […]
The tearing hair look not so good then.
I have to go clothes shopping next week. I reckon nearly anyone else *in the whole world* (that’s official, I did a survey) would be really excited about this but although I am excited about having a night out and a new outfit to wear, I’m truly dreading the process of shopping. I’m hopeless at […]
Not the language post I planned to write today.
But you know what, this one is more important. Because when I came across this literacy set in a toy shop today, I just wanted to cry. What the hell is something like this doing in a shop, alongside keywords, sight words and literacy in the 21st century? How can it possibly be that anyone, […]
Cousins.
My sister came to stay for the weekend, with her 4 little squidlets. We had a lovely, if hectic, weekend and you can tell because we hardly took any photos at all. But there was Strictly watching and much baby worship and pom pom making and Lego and giggly late night getting to sleep for […]
Finished it Friday: the horrible home knit.
Ever since Max first pulled me in his MGB, I've occasionally had to play second fiddle in his heart to weekends like this one. My husband has a secret, one which means he spends his evening thumbing through magazines with scantily clad ladies in them and likes to go and stare at oiled and shiny […]
