Harry: “I’m a secret agent, not a dancer. I’ve got four TV shows and four jobs – I don’t want any more!” I just said, about the mother in Tangled, “Wow, she’s a horror.” Harry said, “Yeah. Like you today.” Ha! #megastress Joe’s playing hide and seek with a sandwich. The sandwich is winning. Picked Harry up … Continue reading »
(Some of these are really old.) Joe just said, “Smack my butt and call me Larry!” He did not learn that from me. *stares at Harry* Lying on the sofa, feeling sorry for myself. Harry covered me with a blanket, Joe brought me his Peppa Pig. “Ohhh, poor Middy…” Joe: “I just found this for you, Middy. … Continue reading »
Sorry I didn’t post last week. I was away and so David took over homeschooling duties (which you can read about on Harry’s blog). A few things have happened as a result of my ranty Week Three post. The first thing was that I got called in to see Harry’s headmistress. I don’t mind telling … Continue reading »
Harry has asked me and my blog readers to help him name a new TV show he’s working on. Over to Harry: Wick name do you like best Is it Harry . who or cinderharry UPDATED! People have been asking what the shows are about. I asked Harry to write it, but he didn’t want … Continue reading »
Harry just spotted an old photo of me and David. He said, “Wow, you look young and Daddy looks like a total goon.” Heh. Joe: “Joe waked up!” Me: “You haven’t been to sleep yet.” Joe: “Oh. Sorry, Mama.” Have hurt my knee – can’t put any weight on it. Harry said, “Don’t tell me I’ll have to … Continue reading »

First thing Friday morning, before David and Joe were up, Harry said he didn’t want to do homeschool on Fridays anymore – could we do Mondays instead? I chose Fridays because it’s the day they seem to do the least work at school. They have a long assembly, they have Golden Time and they also … Continue reading »
I haven’t really talked about what I’m supposed to be doing with Harry on Fridays, but, um, I’m going to now. Probably at tedious length. Sorry. My original plan was to be free and easy on Fridays. To do whatever Harry wanted to do. I knew that we’d do some work on writing and letter … Continue reading »
Earlier this week, after dropping Harry off at school, I stopped to talk to a woman I vaguely know. She’s the grandmother of a child who was at preschool with Harry. I now see her a couple of times a year and we have a little chat. This time, we ended up talking about whether … Continue reading »
Harry got me out of bed at 6-ish to watch Doctor Who with him. When we’d finished watching, Joe still wasn’t awake so I said we might as well start “school.” Harry rolled his eyes a bit, but since I said we’d start by watching a couple of videos on The Kid Should See This, … Continue reading »
