the end was just the beginning
We had dinner at a neighbour's house last night. Sprog 1 stayed for a sleepover. I'm going to pick her up now. I've baked ginger beer muffins to take as a peace offering, because I shamed myself at dinner. I still can't bear to talk about it. Maybe tomorrow. In the meantime, these muffins are...

Too embarrassed/hungover to blog today. My shame will have to subside first. So I'll leave you with a poem by Sprog 1 that sums up my mood ... As dead as a dodo As pale as a ghost As flat as a pancake As dumb as a post.
People often suggest I do some freelance writing for extra cash. Who has time for freelance writing when you spend hours baking and decorating cupcakes for the school band's fundraiser cake stall?

Last week, after I emotionally scarred Sprog 1 by forgetting her form for an art excursion, a school mum reassured me: "Don't worry, their brains reset at eight. She won't remember a thing." I've done a little research and the school mum was pretty close to the money - last year, a Canadian research team... Continue Reading →

I went to Medicare yesterday and got a dreadful shock. They've stopped the free money. I loved my cash refunds, they felt like I'd won a minor prize on Lotto. Now the money is deposited straight into your bank account - damn progress - which is very dull. Especially when you wait 20 minutes for... Continue Reading →
