I can't believe it's been so long since I've written, time is just flying by.  Sometimes I feel like I'm getting there and things are going well and other times I feel like I'm just not doing enough and am falling so short of what I should be.

I do believe in the better late than early philosophy but could probably do with doing a bit more research just to reassure me, and now my eldest dd is 7 I'm thinking I should try and do a little bit more formal work with her?  Its difficult at the moment as we have my friend and her 2 children living with us - 3 adults, and 6 children in a 2 bedroom house. To be fair it's not as bad as it sounds but as her 2 go to school it's a strange thing as I've been doing the school run with her then coming back and trying to fit in some schooling with mine on top of everything else.
