After rather pathetically realising my ‘stay at home’ status had become a little bit too literal in my last post, we’ve been out every day this week. Which has been some achievement actually. We’ve been various children down at various points of the week this week so the dimensions of life have been quite different. […]
At the Kitchen Table with Glow: Time
This is my contribution to the meme hosted at Glow this week on the passage of time after the loss of a child. Two others I love are by Jeanette and Jill who both, thanks to us ‘knowing’ each other online before the deaths of our babies, have been particularly special to me in the […]
All about Fran
When MuddlePuddle and then PoP started, it was really mostly about Fran. She has always been the one to do things first and rightly or wrongly, I suppose I tended to focus on her. Things have gone on at her pace, often aimed for her interests and needs with everyone tagging along. But all that […]
Soup
I mind this new soup that I’m swimming in; don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for it. I’m grateful for the break from grief and the break from the relentless trying and recovering. It’s a relief to have at least one answer to one question, one why knocked off the list. But this new place […]
The overdue CyberMummy Part 2
I should have written this ages ago but it has been a funny old month and practically as soon as I came home from the blogging conference, the very last thing I had the energy to do was blog. In fact, I’ve barely opened my laptop for weeks; I can keep in touch on my […]
All a bit complicated
There are a lot of things in this post. Some reasons to chatter and some reasons why I haven’t been doing so much of that too. Sometimes the only way forward is to tumble it out and let anyone who wants to sift the melting pot. There is the large and the small tucked into […]
Not art or latin but something between
Our ArtEtc and LatinEtc days have been suffering a temporary hiatus from lack of people and other commitments recently, so yesterday Zoe and I decided we’d carry on regardless and hope other people rejoin as and when they are able to. We started with some GCSE Biology with all three of the biggest girls, Fran, […]
Pondering home educating nearly 10 years in.
It annoys me that I’m not doing a good old inspiring home ed blog any more. I do try but more and more the girls just get on and do stuff, not very visual or exciting stuff, not stuff that warrants dramatic blog posts. more and more, this blog has become about me, or just […]
Make it stop
It is certainly not unique experience to the babylost parent to feel cold horror creep when they hear of another parent losing their child. You do not have to have watched a child die, or be told your child has died, to know that it would be the most terrible thing, the most dreadful thing, […]
Not so much other than ordinary
In the almost total absence of a home internet access this week, we’ve done other stuff. The allotment was in sore need of some work, so we’ve done that. The little girls have weeded and watered and stone collected, so our beds are better next year and we’ll have paths to walk on that get […]
