Where are we going with this?

I've not blogged for ages and I think it's because I hate the way Blogger seems to crash when I've spent forever uploading lots of photos. It's really doing my head in. I was thinking of starting a totally new blog with WordPress but instead of doing that I'm going to keep typing here, but I'll probs not be so hung up about including loads of photographs! What have we been up to? Loads, now that I come to think of it but nothing related to formal academia! The girls started ballet class last Wednesay and so far they're excited for tomorrow's class. Sylvie is loving climbing. She's going every Sunday and each week she climbs higher and higher. Bea, Anna, Mark and I trudge along with her too. I watch in awe, Bea draws and Annie just runs 'round being Annie - sometimes a pain but usually a pleasure! The girls are loving their lego. Bea uses it to make animals then the animals each have a part in a story. Sylvie is refusing to do any kind of 'school work' proclaiming that it's boring and she hates it... hummmmm, we'll have to see about that! I've been thinking about school - but not for too many minutes of the day for the thoughts to trouble me. I still don't think it's the right thing though at this point I admitt that the space it would give me during the day would be very welcomed. We've had dreadful weather. MArk took the girls to his parent's house last Thursday and couldn't make it home until Friday evening due to flash floods, fork lightning strikes and general infrastructure failiure in the face of serious adversity. Only one person was killed - thank goodness no more lost their lives. Bea's trying to write. Sylvie's trying NOT to read OR write anything. We have an allotment but we've not visited it much yet. I need a rocket up my backside. I'm seriously underwhelmed by life and totally lacking motivation at present. I'm just so bloomin' TIRED! Onwards and upwards eh.
