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!!!!!!

Peace…

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!

Yesterday, you’ve been and gone
I cannot change a thing
Today has dawned, and so I cope
With whatever it may bring
Tomorrow is another day
Another new beginning
So bring it on life, I’ll play your game
And I will end up winning!

It’s the weekend…
The academic year has started…
Oh yes the homework cycle is spiraling too!
Once again I’ll go from teacher mode to crazed mother, ensuring work is done on time! Lil Man has been awesome! 2 weeks in a row, he’s done he’s work within 2 days, even though he has a week to do it. I’ve sat by him and supported, but he’s been so independent!
And he had spellings, so we practiced, and the first test, he got 10/10! You go Lil Man!
So far, the maths has been OK, I hope they don’t go all ‘new curriculum’ on me… Maths was never my strong point!

Lil Princess was desperate for homework…strange girl!!!! And she got her wish this weekend, along with spellings too. Have you ever seen a child happy to do work?!?
Anyway, I just hope this year is the year I find myself able to relax, and merely be a support, not the activator of homework!!!!!!

A total must when you’re tired or down!!!

My beautiful furry son is not one to show affection, but today, as it was quiet, Kids at clubs, hubby gone on a pick up run, he came, massaged my jelly belly then settled down for a kip!
The best feeling!
