Shortly. Possibly. Life has got rather complicated. Not only do we have children doing what is fast becoming an almost impossible combination of activities but business is heading into its busy time and 2 of our staff are moving. Gulp. Luckily we will manage, but the well oiled machine will be, erm, using different oil. […]
Legacies
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Autumn in Hama Beads… again :)
I’ve seen this idea pop up on Pinterest a few times and was desperate to have a go and see if it really was as easy as it looks. Seems like a great fun way to use up mixed up Hama Beads. Today we had the beads out to make a whole heap of pictures […]
Make the best of it.
The girls were away this weekend. In the olden days, we relished a weekend off but these days we miss them when they aren't here. They're such good company. Plus of course, it meant Max and I were a two man tag team keeping the amazing non-napping boy occupied 🙂 We took him to visit […]
It's just what you do.
I happened upon a post on Glow that touched the nerve of how I felt this weekend. This bit in particular, written by Kate. “Christ, but some days I feel completely insane with the fucking rage. Then I go to sleep. Then I get up again, and shower, and scramble eggs, and try again. Because […]
Backwards and Forwards: Dartmoor & Memories.
It’s strange that I grew up in a family where it was considered utterly beyond the pale to go back to a holiday destination for a second time. My mum said she always worried that it wouldn’t be so good on the return. Mind you, family holidays when I was growing up were normally illustrated […]
