I never thought it would be me | The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy

https://notsoordinarydiary.wordpress.com/i-never-thought-it-would-be-me

The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy. My world, its ups and downs. I never thought it would be me. I never thought it would be me. My children were going to be geniuses, the lot of them. After that I felt better. When the test results came back positive I was still sad; I still cried. I still mourned the fact that my baby was different to everyone else’s, but having the knowledge was better than not knowing. The suspense of waiting for results was far worse than the news when it eventually came. I had been...

My #summer 10 | The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy

https://notsoordinarydiary.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/my-summer-10

The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy. My world, its ups and downs. I never thought it would be me. July 25, 2015. Ok, so Jill’s done one, Sue’s done one, Rachel’s done one, and any other number of people too and as I was too lazy (and immensely touched by all the people who nominated me – thank you) to do the #twitteratichallenge here’s my plan(ish) for the summer. 2 Reading. I have a stack of novels to read. And some books for my course, but I’m not thinking about that right now. July 25, 2015 at 8:22 am.

Seasick | The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy

https://notsoordinarydiary.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/seasick

The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy. My world, its ups and downs. I never thought it would be me. August 1, 2015. Been on my holidays; it’s only when I am chasing my own children around the swimming pool trying to get them out and exhausted by the effort of holding my stomach in that some little voice pops up to say hello, no, I’m usually unmasked by my fellow adults. There is something I never realised about the bit where the river actually meets the sea. I never realised it was quite so lumpy. I...Poor ...

Bad Parenting | The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy

https://notsoordinarydiary.wordpress.com/2015/07/16/bad-parenting

The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy. My world, its ups and downs. I never thought it would be me. July 16, 2015. Mr Wilshaw has been at it again. Some parents just don’t give their children the opportunities, from the earliest of days, for them to get ahead. Some parents take their children to group after group after group and their kids never get to spend a moment at home. Some mothers give their children milk in bottles. Some fathers don’t go out to work. Some put their own first. Some parents smack the...

Feed the Hunger | The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy

https://notsoordinarydiary.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/feed-the-hunger

The Diary of a Not So Ordinary Boy. My world, its ups and downs. I never thought it would be me. August 7, 2015. To put it in the kettle, and Sam has experimented with putting frankfurter sausages in the frying pan, the maternal bosom swelling with maternal pride at not only that, but that the Nigella cookbook with the correct recipe was open on the worktop. They have grown, in independence and stature, before my eyes. School, where it is so much smaller, meal times are social times, an opportunity to pr...
