A Stretched Wednesday

Today I've worked too many hours, thrown the cheese slice in the bin (later found by my half who is convinced I'm losing it) and eaten too much unhealthy food (i.e. chocolate and crisps).

But I have watched this:

living a beatles song

today was one of those days where each hard thing i had to do in the day panned out to be exactly that; hard. sorting through papers at home i found these gems tonight, they reminded me no matter how hard your day there is always something to be grateful for. some days it takes me longer to remember that than others.

The Talk of Tuesday

Today has been a big day in my household. I don't often talk much about my kids here, but seeing as we are in count down to close off on the blog here goes.
My son is really into maths. By that I'm talking huge into maths, he is 17, and will sit and do equations for fun, reads maths books in his spare time, and I'm now used to pretending to understand when he talks maths.
Today his hero came to school, he met him and he signed his book.

So tonight the talk in our house has been Simon Singh, the excitement palpable. Even more so because he has asked to see something that my son has written, so tonight we've created a blog. If you fancy a look here you go: www.goodtobeageek.blogspot.co.uk
It's been the talk of Tuesday.

monday

morning; curtains drawn, hail on the rooftops. mid morning; snow flurries, turned to rain. rush hour; sunshine shone through. finally home; the view from the back garden.

Monday night messiness

Sometimes 'what are days for' is about general keeping the house going, it is not particularly glamorous, but Monday night is about clearing up the mess. Left over tea plates merge with tea preparations, merge with left out school work, and if you look closely you can find the jam left over from breakfast.
Tonight is about clearing up, making the kitchen not looking like a bomb site, and putting on washing. But do you know what? That's ok. Because part of my role is about the mundane, and knowing that in a few years when the nearly grown up people have left home I will long for these days back.
Let the clearing up commence.
