I did better today. Not as in “feel happy and chirpy and like Xmas is coming” but better in a “put one foot in front of the ****ing other” sort of a way. I can do happy. I can do Christmas. My garden is not full of snow like the other parts of the country […]
Maddy Heaven
She’s loved Buzz since she was about 2 years old; finding this was Maddy heaven. She took it very seriously 😆
Na….Na….Na….Oh!
I’m trying terribly hard to keep up to date with this but I’m failing completely on writing up the days out we have; we’ve settled into a rhythm of plenty of edu-lising (educational socialising!) with our etc groups ad they are great. The only problem with them for me is that whatever stage of healing […]
Trying to finish off last weeks list.
I’m not going to make it entirely, as Fran has promised a guest blog for part of it, but she’s hugely caught up in both her NaNo and now some terribly complicated spreadsheet she is designing (for a 12 year old anyway) so that might take a while. It’s too long ago to blog Halloween […]
History – Egyptians and so on.
I’ve going to have a stab at doing a better job of contributing to this soon as I’m not doing very well and I don’t like coasting. I was a bit too off the planet still when it was mooted and it has occurred to me a bit late that I need to read Story […]
Assorted crafting.
Last weeks cloaks didn’t really have masses of time for me teaching dress making, seamstress-ing or costume design but Maddy did get a crash course in pinning, which will no doubt stand her in good stead at some point. There was a very small amount of fun with this (if I’m honest not terribly good) […]
Be happy at Burghley – mission not entirely impossible?
I’m supposed to be finding things every day that I’m happy or pleased about at the end of it. This isn’t easy, mainly because I don’t seem to have the energy to create much movement at all and partly because being happy, being pleased and living has a measure of guilt attached, which is hard […]
Books and Doctors and Dentists, Oh My!!!
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 […]
Educayshun
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 […]
Running on Empty.
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 […]
