Little Manipulator

September 30, 2010

“He’s got your wrapped around his little finger….” “Don’t go to him the second he cries out… he’s just playing games and manipulating you.” I ponder her words as I leave what I am doing to respond to his cry. Is he just crying to get my attention? Am I wrapped around his little finger? [...]

When I grow up…

September 29, 2010

One day… When I grow up… I’d like to be…. A window dresser and design fabulous shop window displays. A wedding planner and put on an amazing country wedding for someone special.

Laundry is my enemy. It is out to get me. It never ever ever ends. Just when I think I have washed it all, hung it all, folded it all and put it all away… it starts again. I really don’t like laundry. But then… There is always so much washing to do because we [...]

It’s Tuesday (in case you missed Play School this morning and so don’t know what day it is. Or does that only happen to me?) and I would usually be joining in with Childhood101′s We Play series, but not today.
