Books and Doctors and Dentists, Oh My!!!

October 4, 2010 by

Last week. Hmmmm. Amelie has been doing symmetry in her book as well as in Mathletics. Actually so has Maddy, along with 2D and 2D shapes and today, that annoying equation which has something to do with a triangle and a hippopotamus. And we’d have got there too, had I not failed to add up […]

September 27, 2010 by

Damn. I’m all behind again. We’ve had a good few weeks anyway; the homework diaries work really well still. Everyone likes it, everyone is busy and occupied (well, except Amelie who is converting education avoidance into an art form 🙄 ) I regularly depress myself with the fact that the girls do not get the […]

Gymnastic Fantastic for Amelie

September 26, 2010 by

Amelie had a competition at gym today. She’s had a slightly difficult time lately; several coaches and changes of squad in a few months although luckily she was inspired rather than demotivated by a drop in squad from A to B and has loved where she has moved to. She did lose a previously piece […]

Running on Empty.

September 22, 2010 by

Yesterday the counsellor I’m seeing tore all of my “lalalalalalala… it’s not happening” defences into pieces. Consequently, all I really want to blog is “my baby boy is dead, my baby boy is dead.” I’m in pieces. However, that isn’t going to help, I think, so I’m going to blog something else instead. I’ve fallen […]

In between two weekends.

September 17, 2010 by

I do wish I could remember to blog more frequently about life, rather than about death. B- Must try harder. I spend a lot of time worrying about life, trying to keep things right for everyone and annoying people by going on about it, but not perhaps quite enough time living and doing it. Right. […]

Chewing wasps and spitting feathers

August 24, 2010 by

Well. We haven’t really done so much of either. But I quite liked it as a title 🙂 Yesterday we started our new HE regime… for however long it lasts. In an attempt to pull together some of what has worked in the past, add a little of what we enjoy and try some things […]

Ever on and on.

August 21, 2010 by

The last few weeks have been building up to the three older girls having some time away from home; an opportunity arose for Fran and Amelie to attend a gym camp at a gymnastics centre some way from us, known to us slightly through a friend and a competition that Fran has done. We offered […]

And the beat goes on

August 17, 2010 by

Last week I worked quite a bit; I do love having the ability to share a job with your nearest and dearest – and we do it very well now. It was hard at first and we had a lot of corners to knock from each other because we work so very differently but lately […]

The Weekly Round Up.

July 24, 2010 by

Last Friday we went off to Wicksteed Park for the day. Not been for ages and the girls all really enjoyed themselves, mingling with friends and going on rides with them and with Daddy. I was happy just to mooch and watch them enjoy their half price wristbands; I’m not a fan of rides and […]

Counting Magpies

July 12, 2010 by

A very busy week. I’m hoping to persuade Max to blog Friday as a guesting blogger (he might) but I don’t think I’ll hang on for him so I’ll do a quick phot round up. After the busy weekend and then Monday doing art with le Ciel Rouge, we visited Stanwick Lakes on Tuesday with […]
