Maths Homework and Leaf Scrunching
This week I am disliking…
- The sun is shining less- the view out of the window is rather grey, I prefer sunnier views.
- The Maths homework the children are doing-You know it’s time to brush up your maths skills when you don’t understand their maths homework.
- The morning coat battle- Me -It’s raining wear a coat. Child “ Where am I supposed to put it, it won’t fit in my bag. . . ” Enough said.
- Being force-fed Christmas- Do we really need to start stocking up on mince pies and Christmas cake in September? If I buy them in now there is no way they will last till the end of the week, let alone 3 months. So I would have to buy some more….and on the circle goes till Christmas arrives and I cant face another mince pie and my waist band is stretched beyond its capacity.
But I’m liking…
- The first leaves falling from the trees- Although it marks the end of summer, I must admit I am an autumn and winter fan. Not to mention leaf scrunching. A past time every adult should indulge in to remember what child like fun is.
- The children walking to school- no more school runs for me. School is too close to drive and rather un-cool for me to walk with them.
- Seeing my children walk down the garden path after school-This can be rather a short lived liking though depending on their moods. And I do secretly know the smiles are not because they are pleased to see me but pleased to have finished another day at school.
