I haven't posted in ages because my son has been home from University and taking up ridiculous amounts of time. He has also been taking up far too much of my daughters energy! Neither are because he is anything other than polite, helpful, kind...but extremely lazy in the way boys can be.
He had the whole of his holidays to do work on a puppet he is making for his course...so while he did fiddle around with it during the 4 weeks he was home he didn't start doing any real work on it until the last week. Realistically the last 2 days. This resulted in me having emergency dashes to Hobbycraft to get him supplies and endless visits to town. All I can say is that my bank card is having a lay down in a dark room...poor thing is exhausted!
My daughter is also left beyond exhausted, not good as she is just getting over a nasty flair that has left her with significantly less energy than she had before anyway.
To add into the mix the youngest is doing 'Travel Training' so he can catch buses on his own and, theoretically, have some independence. He is finding the process extremely exciting and scary and he is acting up just a touch...read massively. As he is finding life hard anyway with changes coming as he moves to College in September he is volatile and hard work.
There have been various other stuff happening which has all left me with little time or energy to do anything. The prospect of Ed Milliband as PM as also sucking the life out of me...the embarrassment is just too much. The man is dreadful...heaven only knows why anyone would vote for him!
I will post again soon as I have plenty to say...always!...but will wait till I have spare room in my head
