Wonderful Wagon: Swimming with Four Kids. There's No Wine For That.
http://www.wonderfulwagon.com/2015/08/swimming-with-four-kids-theres-no-wine.html
Friday, 14 August 2015. Swimming with Four Kids. There's No Wine For That. I don’t like to but I can do it. Something weird happened as I got older; I discovered a large body of blue water is purely for dive-bombing into with screams of joy. That look doesn’t do a person in her early 40’s any favours. But as I’ve got kids and am of the opinion swimming is kind of important because it could save their lives one day, I take them. It helps enormously, kind of, that they love it. Taking them all swimming.

Wonderful Wagon: September 2014
http://www.wonderfulwagon.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Friday, 26 September 2014. I AM no stranger to relapse. I’ve suffered many. A running relapse where I run for 3 weeks and take the next 5 off. Completely undoing all of my good work in the process. A shouting relapse where I try very very hard for the eleventy millionth time not to shout at the kids. I’m cruising along, nodding and agreeing with everything they say and then bam! Smallest Boy nailed his wee wee’s in a matter of hours. Hours. I tell you. He’s great at it and thoroughly delighted ...Then he...

Wonderful Wagon: A Teeny Tiny Confession
http://www.wonderfulwagon.com/2015/08/a-teeny-tiny-confession.html
Monday, 10 August 2015. A Teeny Tiny Confession. Whispers* I think I’m ready for them to go back to school. I know a long long time ago back in June I said I was dying. For the summer holidays. That I love. The summer holidays and the break from routine. I said all of that. I still stand by it. But. Whispers* I think I’m ready for routine again. We have been going to the swimming pool each morning to get out of the house for a while and whilst I. Kind of sort of like it. The house is upside down. Tod...

Wonderful Wagon: July 2014
http://www.wonderfulwagon.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 July 2014. Good Clean Messy Fun! THIS is messy play! CURRENTLY my legs are covered in spots. Big, dirty, itchy. Spots They are so uncomfortable, so unsightly and unbelievably itchy there is no way these things are regular hives. I found myself googling insect bites. I am still none the wiser. Have mosquito bites/hives got to do with messy kids play, I hear you ask,. So I reckon I’ve reacted in the only way I know how – with an allergic reaction. I doubt I am not alone in this admission either.

Friday, 31 July 2015. Inside Out. A Mini Review. FOR THE THIRD time since I became a parent, I helped one of my boys say goodbye to his fifth year and welcome his sixth. In other words there was a birthday. In other words I shoved chocolate cake at him, bought him a pair of swimming goggles and promised him a trip to the cinema. Inside Out, the latest offering from the Disney Pixar stable had just been released and my boys were chomping at the bit to go see it. Fear is painted purple and a feature I real...

Wonderful Wagon: May 2014

Monday, 26 May 2014. What a nice colour! Recently my boys had a fight over something they don’t even have: an x-box thingy. Nagging began shortly after the First Holy Communion. I have no idea how much one of these things cost, nor do I want to [really] but there was a mild expectation that Oldest Boy would be able to procure one after the 29. Of March this year. Nagging with a lot of “hmmmm. We’ll see’s.”. Discussions started in earnest. Coming to live with us. 8220;But that’s not fair! 8220;Eh, I don&#...

Wonderful Wagon: June 2014
http://www.wonderfulwagon.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 June 2014. Summer. Perception Vs. Reality. We have been particularly lucky with the weather these last couple of months. It makes everyone happy and we tend to do things we wouldn’t normally do. Things like not turning on the oven and slowing down considerably because it is impossible to move fast in the heat. I intend to kick back over the next while and actually enjoy life. I have serious perceptions for the next few weeks. Long evenings playing in the garden. See above. Due to the. In my ho...
