Headless chickens

Can't believe it's been a nearly a week since I last blogged. I just don't seem to have been around to write up what's been going on.

Where to begin? To be honest, I can't remember. Have to check calendar. Wednesday - photos at playgroup. Thursday - manic shopping day with a car-less friend. Lidl, Aldi, Asda... o joy. :\ Still, I've got the store room stocked back up again. Getting ready for the hard winter ahead that everyone keeps forecasting. Need to finish stacking up some wood for the little cast iron stove thing we've got. Friday - went to an NCT coffee morning, then went running in the afternoon. Well, half jogging, half walking.

And then - Friday afternoon was my last ever school run. :) How great is that? I'm not sure eldest has a full comprehension of what it actually means, but she likes the idea of me being her teacher. It hasn't quite fully sunk in yet - mainly because I haven't written the de-reg letter yet. I'm such a coward.

Took offspring to Brewsters on Saturday morning for a treat - they've totally redone the fun factory thingy and it's actually quite pleasant, clean and tidy. No sticky carpets, ripped foam padding, and Tigger was wearing white tights and came home still looking halfway presentable. Piglet had a blast, mugged a couple of boys about a year older than her for their foam blocks, ate all her dinner and half of mine and had absolutely no fear when climbing up several storeys of soft play climbing frame. I wasn't overly impressed with food, but at least for once it was prompt, hot and everything we ordered actually arrived.

Sunday, we had friends for dinner. No mention of homeschooling. Don't think they fully approve, so we just don't bring up the subject. Politics, religion and education, we agree to differ. lol

Today has been more constructivel day. Have finally got the other computer up and running - so we have two towers attached to one monitor, and another tower that runs two monitors... only in our house. lol. Still, I also have two nice big shelves above the new computer set up, so I can start rearranging files, books, etc. Shame we didn't manage to paint to walls before putting up the shelves - looks like I'll have to live with the pea green for a while longer.

Am off to raid the kitchen now - starving as I just didn't fancy pizza with the rest of them earlier. Everyone else wanted pizza, except boring old mommy. Mommy had an apple, and several pitying glances from children with cheese and tomato all over their faces. At least they enjoyed it!
