Feeling Chillin'
Hearing Nothing.....baby in bed.....arr....silence is golden!!!!!
The calm before the storm!!!
Hi
It was a really crazy week last week.....but still managed to fit everything in. Even managed to pick kids up at right times (and right places!) It was a bit mad but it was all worth it!
Turns out my 4 year old was a dancer in his Christmas play......I have never laughed so much. He was really good, he knew exactly what to do and when to do it, infact some of the bigger kids where looking at him and copying him.....fantastic!!!!! Until he started to show off.....He just stood there, right in the middle of the stage, folded his arms and started making his 'funny' faces. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, my Husband kept telling me to ignore him but it didn't make any difference. He was getting such a reaction from the audience....he loved it!!!!!!
A few years ago, a little old Spanish lady said to me that she thought my Son had a face like a 'cartoon baby!' I was assured she meant it in a nice way....and now I realise exactly what she meant!!!! He's got such HUGE brown eyes and this little button nose....he looks a bit like Olive from Popeye!! But that's OK I'm his Mother, I'm allowed to say that!!!!!
Got a phone call from the primary school at lunch time on Wednesday, had to collect my 9 year old as she had turned a rather funny shade of green! Got back home and about 10 minutes later got a call from the high school asking me to pick up my 11 year old! GREAT!!! Always the same every year, they come down with something or other just before Christmas.....and once one gets it......they all get it, at a rate of about 2-3 kids a day!!! The average 24 hour bug takes us 2 weeks to get through!!!!
Demi did her performance on Saturday and was really pleased with herself. I felt really bad though because I couldn't go, infact nobody could!!! My Husband had to work, my eldest two were both working too. My back had given way on Thursday so I was in no fit state to leave the house and I still had bodies lying on the sofa hanging over buckets!!! Demi said she preffered it if nobody went because she wouldn't feel so nervous if she didn't know anybody. She came home afterwards and she was buzzing with stories of what had happened! There will be another performance in the Spring! I will make sure I am there!!!!
Today was the last of the Christmas parties and tomorrow 5 kids finnish for Christmas holidays! So tonight they will be wrapping presents for their teachers......and their helpers.......and their other helpers.....the lady who helps with the reading.....oh and the lolly pop lady!!!!! 16 presents!!!!! I remember when there was just ONE teacher to buy a Christmas present for!!!!! I had to draw the line and say No more when my 9 year old told me to get a present for the caretaker.
So they finnish at lunch time tomorrow and that will be the home ed out of the window until they go back in Jan!!
Got to go now kids are overloading my ear drums with tales of the christmas party!!!!
Love Karan XXXX
Hi Demi here!!!!
Tomorrow is my last day of home ed this year !!!Only one week left intill christmas I cant wait !!! And I am getting an mp3 player (pink) :) It is really cool
I did my play ( christmas is cancelled ) on saturday and it was really good ! Even though I fell off my bike twice before I got there I hurt my arm the first time and landed in a load of mud the second time (thank-god nobody was watching ) I had mud all up my jazz pants !!
I went christmas shopping yesterday and my feet were killing when I got back but it was ok because my uncle came round with some christmas presents and mine was a nice soft pair of slippers.
My mum got a kitchen utensils set off my uncle....Evrybody always buys my mum things for the kitchen. I think they should buy her perfume or somthing nice like that....so does my mum. When my little brother wins the lottery he is going to buy my mum a nice big cooker and some nice big new pans!! My mum said she cant wait ha ha ha .
Back soon love Demi x x x

Demi, glad your play was good, but I have a question for you....Did you fall off your bike with dignity!!! When I was 14, my friend and myself, were riding down a lane holding each others handle bars! why would we want to do that!! needless to say we both ended up in a heap of tangled metal, down a bank and into a ditch! ouch!
