This is my default category, for when I completely forget to do it!
Standing up to a bully
This week has been hellish. One of the worst weeks of my life, and trust me, I've had a lot of seriously BAD weeks. This week I have been threatened with Social Services. I've been threatened with legal action. I've been threatened with the virtual loss of my children. This time last week, my ex … Continue reading Standing up to a bully
Irrational dislikes and nnnnngggggg
Everyone has "irrational" dislikes. I googled the phrase yesterday, while thinking about this blog post. There are a lot of forums that have a thread on irrational dislikes. There's a lot that are 'common' irrational dislikes - where you (that's the royal you, not you, the person reading this) dislike a particular actor or actress; … Continue reading Irrational dislikes and nnnnngggggg
Lies, damn lies, and statistics
This blog post actually has nothing to do with lies; it is to do with statistics. I could get quite obsessive about statistics. I like statistics. I don't really like maths, but I like statistics. I like to know, statistically, what the probability of things are. And I'll seek out the statistics, and get a … Continue reading Lies, damn lies, and statistics
Trapped in Claire’s Accessories
The subject of ear piercing came up last week with my children. I have always said not until they're 16, and only if they get it done at a proper piercing place, not Claire's Accessories or anywhere that uses a gun. I have good reasons for this. I'll get to that later though - I … Continue reading Trapped in Claire’s Accessories
Ear Worming
This is a musing blog post, to do with the phenomena of 'ear worming'. Or is it "earworm"? Either way, I'm hugely susceptible to ear worming. It only takes the title of a song. A few bars of a song. Sometimes a lyric or two, and that is it. I'm ear wormed. Sometimes I don't … Continue reading Ear Worming
Writer’s block
I have writer's block. Believable, isn't it? Given that I started this blog in November last year, and in the last few days have posted a new blog post nearly every day. I can't write. I don't know what to write. I stare at a blank screen.......an almost blank screen. A screen that says "Chapter … Continue reading Writer’s block
Life’s upheavals
In about October 2010, my fragile single mother existence started to crash around my ears. Even more so than it had done since the separation in 2005. The fear that I had lived in for a good year previously became real. My children's father confirmed that he was putting his house on the market and … Continue reading Life’s upheavals
Saturday morning activities
Saturday morning, I'm on a squishy, comfy sofa at The Climbing Hangar. I love this place. I get to really chill out while the girls expel some of that ever present energy and climb boulders for a good couple of hours. I should have brought my keyboard though. Typing anything lengthy on the touchscreen of … Continue reading Saturday morning activities
Strong, independent woman?
So, last night I blogged about parental alienation. After writing that blog post, I started thinking about me. About how all this came about. I thought about the concept of "mother". I almost had a poem in my head........I don't do poetry. I'm keeping that one in my head at the moment. It will be … Continue reading Strong, independent woman?
