Some days just go west before they’ve even started. Today I don’t think I managed to one single thing off my list – it’s just been a complete write-off. I’ve nursed a headache and helped with an awful lot of homework that someone should have started a very long time ago, I re-shopped for the things I forgot when I shopped the first time and also bought a new ironing board cover which the lady in the shop swore blind was the right cover for my board – and which is actually miles and miles to big and will have to be returned.<\/p>\n
I’m beginning to think I should have stayed in bed\u00a0and read my book all day.\u00a0It would have been more rewarding.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, an almost finished book report, where I have cajoled and motivated but not written one single word myself, does count as something of a success. There were a few tears of frustration (his, not mine) along the way, but I think some big lessons were learned – not least of the don’t you dare leave your homework till the last minute<\/em> and the it’s hard to write a book report when you’ve left the book at school<\/em> variety.<\/p>\n Sometimes life just gets in the way. Normal service will hopefully be resumed as soon as possible!!!<\/p>\n I’m now retiring to knit socks and contemplate the meaning of life.<\/p>\n Helen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some days just go west before they’ve even started.
