I prefer the term childlike to childish, it had a more mature ring to it. To me I'm me. Determined, understanding with a little bit of a temper. I'm married and have children. I also have a brother and two sisters, I work in a school with various kids who need a little extra help, one way or another. And to all those people I imagine that I'm someone slightly different, depending on their needs. Once you read me I will become, to you, who you need me to be.
Let's Go Diem the Carpe!

I had to do an extra teacher training session after school today so my friend picked up the girls. She lives just around the corner from us, on the same street. I picked the girls up and we went ...
Book choices in Et tu Brute? The ides of March must mean spring 2016!
When I was in second year of juniors, or year 4 as it would be called now (ages 8/9), it was time to choose a new reading book. Miss Hingley had a large bookcase at the back of the class, lots of...

Yep, I’m meeting up with someone tomorrow; one of my longest time OD/PB friends. I’m getting quite excited. In all the time we’ve known each other this is her third time in Europe and second tim...

(X) shot a gun (I did a fun weekend run by the TA and part of that was shooting at a target. I hated it. Guns are effing horrible things) ( ) seen the Grand Canyon (other than in photos…) ( ) see...
Hellloooooo! in Et tu Brute? The ides of March must mean spring 2016!
Nothing to say, just want to remind myself that the world and those in it don’t owe me a damn thing - I owe it all to myself but it’s my responsibility and my fault. Blame doesn’t lie elsewhere. ...
Unschooling. in Et tu Brute? The ides of March must mean spring 2016!
I know several home schoolers, some stick to rigid plans while others go with the flow. I have heard of the concept of unschooling before without truly understanding how it works so I organised a...
Naked yoga. in Et tu Brute? The ides of March must mean spring 2016!
Yup. Me, in the spare room at my dad’s 😱 ! I don’t know what it is about this house but I always sleep like I was after a gold medal for sleeping when I’m here. It really leaves me feeling foggy ...
A few spare minutes in Et tu Brute? The ides of March must mean spring 2016!
We have a sick child - L has been out of action with tonsilitis since Saturday! The positive, of course, is that my house is getting tidier as the days go past! I did take them out to the cinema...
Inspiring a pruning session. The back door was open and the cats were exploring. For Amba that means hovering by the door, ready to leg it back in at the slightest noise or breeze. For Oreo it me...

1: What eye color do you find sexiest? Rich has the most amazing eyes and I truly can’t tell you what colour they are, they contain the whole spectrum of eye colour. 2: White milk, or dark choco...
Here’s the deal - when you look on the back of bog standard cat food, at the nutritional information, you will see that their food contains 4% meat. Yup, 4% for a carnivorous animal. So I decid...
I don’t think I’ve been so politically scared since the 80’s along with its talk of The Button. Trump, (Brit slang. n. fart) who was amusing at first, is just becoming damned scary. Hell, I’d we...
I’m in full on nag-mode. Well, this should go without saying since I want the girls to get ready for bed! T is walking around, shivering, like an ethereal creature from a Victorian novel, with a...
For all those who felt the answer was a trick let me assure you that it wasn’t. It was a question on a year 6 (age 10/11) maths paper and I gave it to the kids. Interestingly some of them either ...
I appreciate your support at my self pity party yesterday!! I was just frustrated because I hate needless and really have to psych myself up to give blood! Ah well. Feeling flat, spring is sprung...
Feeling disappointed. I went to give blood and went dizzy. It was only for a few seconds but they had to stop the donation 😞
WHERE: it’s Wednesday morning, my friend has dropped off her keys so I can let her dog out later, our new tv will be installed after lunch so I’m taking advantage of the time and having a hot bat...
Intimacy in a family room isn’t easy, We’re lined up, all four of us. Rich and me in a double bed while the girls have a single each. But we’re on holiday, relaxed and without the need to do stuf...
I’ve been up since O 5:30 - what does the I stand for? Oh my God it’s early!! (Who can tell me what movie that quote is from and what the actual time was… 😎). We’re driving to Brighton this eveni...
I had those type of weekend plans, you know the ones. You don’t? Well, make yourself comfortable and I’ll begin. Feeling a certain amount of boredom at the weekly trail around the supermarket wi...
How long have you been married? This coming summer will be our thirteenth anniversary. Is this your first marriage? On paper, no. But emotionally, yes. Is it how you imagined it would be? We knew...
I’m not known for formal work, you know the kind where you turn up looking smart, work set hours and do what is required by the boss. My history of work, apart from 11 years as a nanny and 7 as a...
Reality check - the fully clothed version. in Spring time, sunshine and flowers, 2015
WHERE: in the living room, sitting on the sofa. I got bored the other day (not running causes boredom) and rearranged the living room furniture, the tv is no longer the focal point. Outside the s...
1. Was 2015 a good year for you? Why? I’ve seen a lot of people ready to leave 2015 because it has been awful but I can’t see how a year could be all awful or all good. Shit stuff happens, good ...
