Hello blogworld
Funny how it goes isn't it - you think you've got everything sorted and then life goes and trips you up again.
I think my regular waffle followers will remember the the trouble we had getting SWMbO to school a few months ago, the trouble ended up being that a boy in her class was picking on her - thought we'd got it all fixed and back to our happy SWMbO. Not, unfortunately. Yesterday said boy decided, after a group of them were playing a game, to get a thorn and scratch her leg and ankle. One minor step forward is that after this happened she went and told a teacher on duty in the playground.
Not happy are we - spoke very briefly to head this morning, now waiting to see what the school does this time. I'm on the point of changing school, hubby wants to ring the Local Education Authority.
On the builder front - we've decided to go back to the bloke who was originally supposed to come out this week but couldn't as it was too short notice. Hopefully work will start in a couple of weeks when he's free again. We'll see.
Hey ho, onto brighter things:
Today's prompt:
Day 12: What’s your favourite medium to work with OR Craft something with a sporty theme
Favourite medium to work with - ummm, well stamps, Promarkers and paper!
I love stamping, either 'proper' (as in rubber) or digi - I'm happy with either.
Then colour in with Promarkers (tho sometimes I use my Prisma pencils).
The play with paper.
This all equals one happy Sarah - well apart from when it doesn't go right, but that's another story!!
See you tomorrow,
Sarah

Mummy got....
stuff for Mother's Day!!!!
Hello blogworld
Well here we are again - another year turns and brings another Mother's Day. Again it is a day I look forward to but dread at the same time.
Dread as there are long term problems with my family (haven't spoken to my mum for over a year now) but look forward to for my the joy that my little munchkin brings! Not that she's without her problems - we were supposed to go to Lincoln yesterday but that was cancelled due to bad behaviour. I wonder if I were like this when I were little? Peter swears he was an ideal child, hmmm I'll hold judgement on that one.
However she's been 100% perfect today - and I got stuff (officially stuff!) today for Mother's Day.
Wanna see?
Here then:
Flowers and cards, don't think you can see on this but she's already very modern - the cards are addressed to Sarah not mum or mummy!!:
Craft things (got those myself yesterday on a much shorter trip than we were going to have!). I actually have more than this, but the dies are put away already and the pre-printed toppers (£1 a pack!) were for herself, I were told that!:
And finally - my official stuff:
She really, really, really, didn't like the idea of giving me an empty box. So she changed what she didn't like on the poem and put craft 'stuff' inside the box!!! I just asked her why she did that and she said that it was a silly idea that the teacher had and it's not nice to give someone an empty box!
What you don't see are the chocs that have already been eaten. She does like early morning chocolate my little munchkin!
So that's me done - and for all of those out there who don't do Mother's day, for whatever reason, I'm thinking of you.

PS - I have 149 comments in my email - some of them are multiples from one person - I will be going through them all next week and visiting all your blogs. I promise, cross my heart! It might just be the end of the week before I get round to you!!!

No card, but more crying!
Hello blogworld,
Waffle time!
I felt a bit unsure about having a child for ages as I watched my sister and b-in-law with theirs and saw how much effort went into it. I also had my mothers' thoughts ringing in my ears for years - first one being 'you were a lovely baby and then you grew up' and also 'I sometimes wish I'd never had you two - all you do is argue' insert any words from argue to break my heart, to moan, cry and whinge.
Still the clock ticked, found a nice bloke and eventually we took the plunge, and it has been the most emotional roller-coaster ever! We have good days - she got flowers from daddy on Valentines, look how happy she is:
To days like yesterday - all over a new bed! She finally picked one a single, metal bedstead with crystal finials, fine done very happy. Said we'd go home and order one, canny shoppers us - there's always something either cheaper or with free delivery on the 'net!
But, oh no - we get home and now we've gone back to wanting a mid-sleeper and it's causing tears. We've explained that she can't bounce on that - we moved her bed away from the wall because she said she was cold, and against the wall is where she would have to have this bed. It's not needed in her bedroom - she has a good sized double room so the storage isn't an issue. We have a fold-up so that can be used when she starts having friends over, so again no reason for a bunk-bed (the other choice!).
Is it bad of us to want her to have the bed we want her to have, instead of what (I'm sure) is a fad because her friend has one? It's also more practical - a single will last her years, whereas she'll have to change a mid-sleeper again.
I don't know I'm beginning to feel like a right meanie here, but where do you draw the line between indulging her and spoiling her?
So on top of the crying about not wanting to go to school, the crying because she wants this bed, the crying because we said 'no' and the general everyday crying - I'm about done in!!
Still no doubt she'll cheer up again soon and then we'll get back to normal, eh. I can hear the telly has gone on (thank goodness for Justins House - cheers her up) and I'm hiding in the craft/dining room. I'll come out soon, promise!!
There waffle over, makes me feel better talking to no-one this does.
Sarah
PS - We also went new kitchen hunting - ooooh I'm in love, soft close drawers, masses of storage, pretty colours. Roll on June/July/August!

She Who Must be Obeyed...
Want to see a picture, or two?
This is the 'stop taking pictures now, Mummy' look!!!
This is the 'look I've found my friends' look!
This is the 'stop taking pictures now, Mummy' look!!!
This is the 'look I've found my friends' look!
So what did we think of our first day in Year 1? Well she looked lost when we left her, she'd said to Daddy that the classroom doesn't look right or like her old classroom. So I spent a bit of time slightly worried in-case she didn't settle.
Shouldn't have worried - SWMbO came home and promptly cried her eyes out that:
1. She didn't want to come home from school
2. She didn't want to change out of her uniform
3. She didn't want to ever leave Yr1
I replied:
In answer to points 1 - 3 in the appropriate sequence -
can't stay there forever, you do have to sleep sometime,
do it
and:
why do you think it's called Year 1 - you get to stay there for a year!!!
Trotted off today no probs - bit shy at the beginning again, but I'm sure she will be bouncing when she comes home!!!
And I'm now thinking about getting off the computer and doing something!!!!!!!!!!
Cheerio
Sarah
