Pernickety kid

Tuesday, June 17, 2008

Miss M is off school today. She has conjunctivitis so is a little sore and battered about the eyes but otherwise fine. Just before lunch she tramps into the kitchen wearing Miss E’s flippers, tugs on my arm and clears her throat. Miss M: “Mummy, where shall my go to get to [...]

Karisma is our host for today and she wants to know about “the things you have made with your own two hands or feet”, not including children. I’m one of those people who likes to make stuff. I’ll have a go at anything. I’ve painted my kids walls, done fun stuff with my camera, [...]

It’s not every day you meet a real life superhero is it? At least I think that’s what they were, there’s no other conclusion I can come to. Superheroes or aliens or people from another dimension who have developed especially thick and yet amazingly normal looking skin. I mean, you just don’t expect it do you? After [...]

Sorry to whinge people but I’m still feeling like someone has taken an axe to my head and like my throat has been packed tightly with cotton wool and beaten with a rubber dingy. That means rough, ok? SO all I can manage today is a quick round up of our weekend. 1. Miss M demonstrates the [...]

I am still knackered and sore throated. Sleep would help, I must get some of that, MISS M. Today I had to go back to the surgery for a routine blood test. Miss E was back at school, though she’s still a bit pasty faced, but I am sooo glad she wasn’t with us because Miss [...]

I always dread taking my kids to the doctors. It’s nothing to do with the doctors themselves, they’re all pretty good, no really they are, we’re really lucky in that respect. And the receptionists are friendly and the building is clean and comfortable and convenient. No loose lions or diseased rats linger in corners, no [...]

Click here for parent torture. (I still can’t get YouTube to work on here but Holl’s going to check it out on Saturday to see what I’m doing wrong or if YouTube just doesn’t like me.) If you can’t click, or you don’t fancy it then let’s just say it’s a clip where a small child [...]

I have a question. Why do my kids look better if I categorize them as foodstuffs? You see, this shot of Miss M? I took this using the ‘cuisine’ setting on my camera. I have to point out that Miss M chose this dress as her big sis has a similar one, and she picked the socks, and the [...]

Hair today, and tomorrow, and the next day

I was born in the seventies. 1975 to be exact. The second of four children, I was a busy kid who loved getting grubby and riding my bike and inventing stories in my head. I was a bit of a dreamer and would play for hours with my brothers, my mates, or on my own. Often I [...]

Gorgeous Cami has tagged me for a cute meme. It is one of the best kind of memes because it is easy, and everyone loves an easy meme right? All you have to do is list 5 classes that SHOULD have been taught in school. And these are mine… 1. How to dye your hair without getting [...]
