I hope I do it justice, I’m suffering from a terrible cold today! But for those of you that wish, read about the challenge here.
He hears a startling
Noise, echoing through the woods
The proud stag stands tall.

Do you get this ladies? You suffer a common cold, and you really suffer, yet you are still operating as usual, albeit with a pocketful of tissues and cold remedies keeping you afloat… and there is no one there saying go, rest, I’ll do that… you might get a pack of paracetamol given to you, but not much more!
Same cold, different species person, aka the male… and it becomes flu, they are dying, they cant even reach the table next to them, to pick up a tissue… every cold medication is out on the counter, as they need to show how ill they are, and how many drugs are needed to get better… Read more about my take on
REALLY??!! C’mon blokes! Sort it out!
With that, and a sniffly nose, I bid you all a wonderful Monday Peeps! Enjoy!
They Won! (Kinda!)

Typical isn’t it? The game I don’t go to… They go and win!
Lil Man had another league soccer match today, and after losing the first league match last week, they won 2-1 today, and the best thing?
(Well, actually, I really don’t understand the rules, the end score was 1:1 as the 2nd goal was disallowed due to a ref not seeing something or other… far too technical for me! So for me, they did win!!!)
Lil Man scored a goal!!!!!! He scored the equaliser, not the disallowed goal.
What a confidence boost for him!
I am one proud mummy!!!!!!

ooh look! A response to one of my posts!
Ritu’s reflection on teaching and the start of the new school year with the viral proliferation of ‘snuffles’ and germ-ridden children in the classroom was interesting to read.
Of course, a teacher writing on her public blog can’t stand up for children and parents in writing about this issue, or speak against policy impacting children’s health and rights.
As a parent of school-age children, now thankfully over a few years since, it was a constant problem that sick children are expected to attend school regardless. Nowadays, parents can be fined or even face imprisonment for their child having excess absence beyond a very small pre-determined amount. The enjoyment of parenting was completely destroyed at times for the nonsense that was sometimes delivered in the name of ‘education’. I couldn’t wait for my kids to grow up to escape the hell of school at some points.Â

I know it won’t last, but for the first time in a long time, I am sat alone at home. The sun is shining, bed sheets are changed, ironing done, a cup of tea by my side. Bliss!
Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids, and hubby, but to be surrounded constantly, every day, at work, and home, it can get a bit overwhelming.
So until around 12.30pm, I have peace…. Until I remember something else I need to do! But until then, I am relaxing!
