Now I am not proud of this but it does happen, especially when it back of your mind you know no harm is done.

My daughter hasn’t been well of late, and my husband has stayed 2 days at home with her, yesterday, because he had taken a personal day off.

And today he said he would stay with her again, since I’m taking off on Thursday to take her to a ( Read more... )

We were watching old family videos the other day. My mother was so beautiful, slim and happy. We were happy kids as well.

My father mentioned how happy my brother was (referring to my older brother). He said “you all had a happy childhood”.

Since Friday, our son has taken to saying things like "you are controlling my life"...dramatic much?

but I took this to heart, because I completely agree, after all I want him to do more for him self, so that I don't run around the whole time, yet we don't give him the opportunity.

Let’s talk about spelling and Hebrew for a moment.

Hebrew has a number of letters that make similar sounds and therefore spelling mistakes can be easily made unless you memorise the word.

DS is sitting with 4 other girls. I’m not sure if he’s too happy about that. HOWEVER, that said, his table has been the ( Read more... )

I don't think i'll have a problem with lunch because I'm paying for him to stay in the school till 16:30 and that includes lunch (though we pay for it separately and I still don't know how much).

However, I will be responsible for his 10am ( Read more... )

Recently I seem to think that all I hear from DS is these 3 words "Mummy, I'm hungry" and I will admit at times I lose my patience and at times these works rub me the wrong way.

Why, do you ask? because he is such a fussy eater. Because "Mummy, I'm hungry" can either mean:

1) Yes, he really is hungry.

or

2) I want to have snack food, aka, junk food, ( Read more... )

Don't go getting the wrong impression, we don't really do much most of the time, alas, and with the heat recently you don't really have the mood...however, here are July's highlights.
