Well that was one way to start a term


We started school for the year on Monday, and despite feeling tired from the heat, the kids good attitudes kept up and we had a really good first day back. We still have a few things - like not interrupting people in the middle of discussions and putting away books, but it was a good start.

So Tuesday morning, same promising attitudes, mum multitasking in the kitchen , making yogurt and explaining decimals, kids crowding a little close. An being careful, I pull the newly filled yogurt incubator away from the edge of the bench so it doesn't catch the kids ... and pour near boiling water down my left hand. I've been in bandages ever since - no dishes, limited cooking, no laundry, very little writing, or until now typing - yep left handed Mummibear.

What it has done is meant that we take not interrupting a little more seriously.

The kids have been great at picking up the lose ends and doing extra cooking and cleaning.

An it pushed forward a move towards a more relaxed home school which has been great.


And that discussion on Classed about making yogurt in the crock-pot certainly has my attention
