It’s 3am and Miss M is crying.
I lie in bed listening, waiting to see if it will remain the habitual cry of a small child who wakes in the dark momentarily, then closes her eyes and heads off back to dreamland, or whether it will grow and build and become one of fear and need […]
Mr B and I don’t often get time alone together. He works all day and after we’ve had dinner and put the two little monkeys to bed there are just a few hours of awake time left, many of which I spend on the pc in our kitchen, blogging and writing and reading, […]
I love my kids.
No honestly, I really do.
So why do I find this so satisfying?
Mwah ha ha haaaaaaaaa
Oh and I nearly forgot to lovely Dumdad reminded me.
Remember when I posted about a local girls Olympic success earlier this week??
Well, Mansfield lass Rebecca Adlington got her second Gold Medal today along with her second World […]
This morning at 9am my sister-in-law Helen’s grandad died.
He was the most charming and lovely man. Over the 15 or so years I have known him he has been a warm presence, always smiling, wonderful with Misses E and M and his own great grand children cousins ME and baby J, and a […]
Story over and Miss M snuggles down under her soft pink duvet. On the verge of sleep but not quite ready to surrender, I see a look of concentration on her face, her lips firm, eyes frowning and head cocked to the right, deep in thought.
Then a small hand rests gently on my […]
Apparently this is where Miss E hoped we’ll be staying for the last week or so.
Well this is her dream room anyway, and I can’t help being kind of pleased because we’re on the way there. I mean, she has a wardrobe, a bed, walls, a ceiling, and a clock, as well as book […]
So you know sometimes people give you weird gifts that you’re not sure how to respond to?
Like diet books? Shudder.
Well last week I got this.
This could be seen as a dig at the fact I am stalked by slugs,
or,
a warm and loving meant gift to help me overcome my fear of their squishy ooziness.
I mean, it’s probably […]
Misses E and M were given beautiful gifts for being bridesmaids, silver chains with their names on. Miss E especially was thrilled with her gift.
For the last few days I have watched her wear it with pride tucked beneath her top to protect it from ‘the weather’ or to ’stop it getting lost.’ Every so […]
This is a proper holiday post. You’ll be able to tell because it’s going to be short and probably a bit sand covered so I hope nobody is naked as that could be quite uncomfortable…and a bit rude.
We’re having an amazing time. The weather has been boiling hot AND it has poured with rain but […]
I’m reading ‘The Little Mermaid’ to Miss M. She loves the Disney film and wants to be Ariel when she grows up. (She used to want to be Fariel but she can say it properly now )
So we get to this picture…
Miss M: “Dey have the same eyes Mummy so […]
