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 […]
Less a round up, more a brain dump.
I’m not even going to try. I can’t remember what we’ve done. Nothing so important that it really needs showing off about any way. These days the boring stuff gets recorded in diaries so I don’t have to blog it; we’ve not done anything worky that has been earth shattering anyway. Probably the best has […]
Art.etc with added Beans.
Today’s art session was a theme, rather than an artist. We borrowed heavily from the wonderful Art Projects for Kids website, which is an amazing resource and they all had a lovely time. There was even some playing time and some grown up time too. The they all had a go at the tree I […]
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 […]
In between two weekends.
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. […]
Creative every day
We’ve had a really tough week, more disappointment for us and other people I care about, difficult stuff at work and a week of the younger three girls playing SCBU and Labour Ward games with PlayMobil. They’ve been clearly testing me, checking to see how well I cope with their subject matter and it has […]
Don't worry, I'm ok now
Things come in runs. On Tuesday, a gym mum asked me how it was going having a boy after all those girls and then today at TKD someone asked me “what did you have?” It’s beyond me to say “a boy” and not tell them he died – and not possible anyway really as the […]
My Little Branching Chart
I appreciate this doesn’t really look like maths. Or science. But it really was. Fran was doing branching charts and identification in her Galore Park science today; she had to design one to work out which of 8 figures was being identified. It took her a while (logical isn’t her thing any more than it […]
Chewing wasps and spitting feathers
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 […]
And the beat goes on
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 […]
