exposed...(not a photographic post)

i feel exposed

vulnerable

and clinical again.

my mind works me into crazy places

i can feel the black waves coming again

and this time

it is my fault

i put myself there.

i feel like i am standing, naked, shivering, in the dark, yet everyone can see.

they don't point

they just watch me drown...

1 month

It's been one month.

My little princess has been a kindergarten- er for 1 month.

This evening I took the opportunity to have a quick flick back through those important

first day of school photo's I* captured.

Goodness me, we have come a long way in 4 weeks.

4 weeks ago - she could write her name, that was about it , a little bit of copying words, but more out of enthusiasm than anything else.

NOW, she can spell words out on a page using nearly every letter in the alphabet,

can add items that are illustrated on a page, and can read 8 sight words,

I, DAD, MUM, LITTLE, BIG, HERE, A & IS!!!

She is excited and enthusiastic about reading her home readers each night and is already bringing home library books and "reading" them.

I am a proud mummy!!

The night before, she had her uniform and backpack ready to go.

Ready to leave, little brother just as excited as she was.

At nanny and poppy's, getting a bit nervous

Cloud Staring and Butterfly Chasing

My soul feels revived after spending the afternoon

lying on a blanket staring at the sky and chatting with my beautiful friend Flick.

We munched on Chokito Cookies

and watched my 3 children (3,5&33)

catch butterflies in the bug catcher and play on the equipment.

Saturday afternoons just don't get any better that this.

a sunny saturday

with not much to do, or should i say while procrastinating on cleaning all the things today,

i enjoyed a latte @ Gym Beans with Felix and the kidlets, then we headed to the park for some fun, lollipops, jellybeans and crochet. Ahoy!
