not to be shouty and grumpy with the girls, and to actually engage – easier with BB who just loves and cuddles. Not so easy with SB who has picked up on my stressiness, and is whiney, whingey and just on edge too. ‘mummy, I just feel angry and sad’
so I am not pushing home ed in anyhting but a lets read lots together – her choice. Chris can do the ‘normals’.
so today she did jump ahead year 1 for ages [got 2 reading caps and a time cap], we read about apollo 13, some general space stuff, and a book about the tudors. We also did some egg decorating – worked out how to blow out the middles, and then she painted. we might even do it one easter! She picked up a scrabble card game from the library without instructions, so we worked out a satisfactory game with that and had fun. SB’s sunflowers are flowering.
BB had lots of cuddles and ran around. also did some painting. Mum and dad made a flying morale visit. I hemmed SB’s ballet skirt. this eve I have watched 2 west wing – leo died 
. however west wing is whats keeping permanent jitters at bay at the mo.
Anyone who fancies a visit here before we move…
oh helen, big hugs to you all. why don’t you guys come over here on the 19th and visit the space centre and come to play to help take your mind off things.
oh, what a horrible and stressy time it is. Sending you much love x
hugs for all the stress Helen xx
