zack is such a star. he now claps, and he won't stop walking. we actually bought him a baby walker so that we don't always have to walk him up and down. unfortunately he hasn't quite got to the steering of it so he bangs into something and then we have to turn it for him. i'm off for hallowe'en this week and i think it is good. malcolm is also ( Read more... )

first of all i'll mention my first choir practice. it was a complete and utter nightmare, however, this was inpart to tensions running high after rev nigels visit to us. i can't be bothered to explain. i am hopeful for wednesday of this week ( Read more... )

i've been coping quite well with what i've had to do. i have now 2 services organised, changed the date for 9 lessons and carols, checked this out with the organist. organised someone to conduct for the 2 carol services and so far has positive support from nigel. wed will be the first practice...more scarey.

apologies for yesterdays entry. i was just having one of those days when EVERYTHING annoyed me. all grand today.

off school this week. hate being off, feel guilty, especially as i want to help with the practices for annie, but my knee injury is till v strange. it can be sore to twist, and it's sore if it's bent for too long, but the key problem is that i cna't lift my foot from the floor when i'm sitting or lying down. i wish i understood the problem.

i've impressed myself. despite my worries and concerns re looking after zack and my leg i have had no problems. he is currently sleeping in his cot (unusal for the day at home), i've our carrot and lentil soup on and cooking. i've stewed a punnet of plums and they are now in the freezer for zack. i've eaten and so has zack (who has also had his ( Read more... )

i'll start with the good news. yesterday zack pulled himself up into standing when in his cot and fed himself his bread. Daddy also (v naughtily) bought him biscuits and he was able to eat that by himself. i was so proud ( Read more... )
