Hello! Welcome to my blog. I'm an erratic blogger - sometimes I write loads and sometimes I disappear for days on end. I write about anything that comes to mind - sometimes about life, sometimes about marriage, sometimes about homeschool. I'm recovering from bad experiences in the past and trying to find peace with myself and, although I spend little time on the computer these days, this blog will serve as a journal for my thoughts. I have no comments because I need no-one's opinion on my life - mine is the only opinion that counts.

A little about me

I'm married to Tim (beautiful musician and delivery driver), we have 2 daughters whom we home educate, live on the south coast of the UK and have 2 aging cats (Mo-mo and Hemmingway). I love reading, crafts, teaching my children and finding the beautiful in things. I have a love of Japanese culture, homes and decor. I have recently rediscovered life away from the computer and am starting to rediscover ..... me.

Quiet

Tim's at work this morning so I've taken the opportunity to get on and hoover/dust/clean up bathroom a bit. Y'know, not all that long ago I used to really hate doing this stuff but just lately I've actually started to get some pleasure out of it. Pushing the hoover about or washing up or whatever allows me to daydream which is really rather nice *smiles*. Of course, the finished results always look lovely too!

Anyway, today is quiet - the kids are both currently happily engaged with things, I've finished my cleaning and am (obviously!) blogging and about to have tea.

This afternoon, Tim is taking Rosie to her trampoline class at the Littledown Centre. Sometimes April and I also go if the weather is nice so that we can play in the park but today its rubbish so Tim will have to go on his own and read the paper in the cafe while he waits for Rosie. This gives me and April a lovely quiet afternoon at home *smiles*.

Tomorrow, I have to take April to Tumbletots. Now, she adores this but I don't like it so much for the simple reason that I have to wait in another room with all the other mums. What I can't stand is the inane chatter - last week we had stuff like "oooo! you'd never guess how many poos Matthew did yesterday?!"

No, I wouldn't and furthermore I don't flippin' care!

I don't understand why a bunch of parents (ooook, mums!) have to get together and discuss their kids bowel movements! I mean, it's not like I get together with friends and start discussing mine or Tim's toilet habits is it?!

"oooo" you'd never guess ............"

Ok, let's not go there.
