Still alive!

I seem to have completely lost the blogging plot lately, but we are still here! I've been training for the 5k run which is this coming Sunday. Running is not going quite as well as I'd hoped - I'm supposed to be able to run for 25 minutes at a time at this stage, but I've only managed to do that once. Ever since, I've usually felt like there is lead in my legs and I just haven't had the energy to do much! Never mind. It doesn't matter if I have to walk some of the time, it's just that for personal satisfaction I would have liked to be able to run all the way.

Home ed is being a lot more autonomous than I would like - meaning I can't get my act together to organise and plan much and 'life' just keeps getting in the way. There is various challenging child behaviour around which takes up time and energy too.

However, Shannon has started to do a little pre-school maths workbook which she says she loves, and Jade is coming along with some mathematical insights in the couple of times a week we manage to sit down and do it (though it was supposed to be 5 minutes every day).

Of course Jade is doing lots of reading, they are both doing lots of playing, and there are those interesting conversations that pop up (yesterday's question - when was the first money in this country? - haven't followed that one up yet).

Mostly I've been indulging in a Mumsnet addiction which is where my evening computer time goes. But will try to do better!
