Crazy Arse Weather

I've had a lot of complaining about the stormy weather from friends and family in my home town in my feed this week.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind them of the ridicule I endured at their hands last year when I was complaining about the weather in Ireland.

I could be the bigger person and offer tea and sympathy but I think I shall opt for petty and childish instead, so without  further ado, "ner ner ner ner".

Tinfoil Tiaras

I was a very busy chickadee yesterday, mainly in a neurotic frenzy of cleaning because I have visitors arriving this afternoon. Two people from local education board for an annual update (the homeschool equivalent of school league tables and reviews). It's an unnecessary evil but I was late up late working on an educational philosophy and with a sick kid so I've been a bit of a bear. So today I am refreshing myself as to why I love home educating for the funny moments and why some days I want to tear my hair out and rock in a corner.

Nerdrage

Cba writing blog today, I've cut the grass, Sunday lunch to make, a bunch of washing and ironing to sort out, kids to bath, potatoes to plant, curriculum to sort for the week ahead and just some general tidying.

Quitting Smoking

My husband has been off cigarettes for a week now, I am exceedingly proud of his achievement, although there were a couple of days earlier in the week where when I was gardening and had a shovel in my hand I considered burying him under my flower patch.

It's probably just as well that he quits before getting sick, the NHS isn't exactly world renowned for it's healthcare or employment opportunities.

The Ark

Taking the kids to Ark Farm today. So not much time to write anything, here is a humourous pop culture impression of Noah's Ark to tide you over until tomorrow:
