I want to blog more

I really do, I tend to blog in my mind too much, I have all these random great blogging material thoughts.
I am just going to blog.
I thought I would begin with telling some little happenings with the kids, some funny little stories. I thought about this yesterday when coco called out as she does that she needed some toilet paper

me: we've run out there's some newspaper there, just rip some off and use that.

coco: okay

arkie: coco, you can just go on the grass!

coco: I need to do a wee and a poo.

arkie: oh okay.

I love that this is not a big deal for them

well what else.........

coco particularly wants to understand everything at the moment, she is particularly interested in where the wind comes from. At first this started in the car, driving along heads out the window, yep just like dogs, I'm not very consistent with seat belts around town, and they wanted to know where the wind came from, well that wasn't so hard, the car moves along and that creates the wind, when you go faster it gets harder, slower not so hard.

a couple of weeks later on a windy day, well naturally cocos mind is ticking over well where does the wind come from now?

well damn good question girl.

I had no idea how to answer this one, really I made some kind of explanation, I don't think it would have satisfied me though.

now I'm starting to worry do kids ever learn this kind of stuff, is this what they teach them at school, this is the kind of stuff she wants to understand, I sincerely hope she is not disappointed with school this year. What if she is frustrated because she has all these questions and in the end there is nothing.

although she is going to an alternate school, where she will supposedly be treated with respect and seen as a whole person etc. etc. I worry that all this curiosity this desire to know and understand will not be filled.

I'm kind of out of inspiration with the kids most of the time, I try, I am conscious of it, but I am exhausted from it, 5 years of mothering and little else.

and even though I have the desire for other things and the drive some of the time, the ideas and I do believe the talent, there is so little time for it.

I have come across so many great sites and blogs lately and this is great

I will do this to make each day seem real somehow, not just pass me by.

I will catalogue my work

I will do this for above reason and also because I need to for work reasons
