Trying to keep all the plates spinning!
Had to come home early from my placement yesterday because Little Three was poorly, in tears and couldn't last the afternoon. I took Two home as well to save me coming back an hour later for him, and as he coughed all the way home anyway it was perhaps as well!
This morning it's college again. Little Three is still not well - temperature up, headache, earache, and she was up in the night needing painkillers. I have phoned Mum in desperation - the poor woman - I only ever seem to speak to her at the moment when I want something. :-( Little Three is going to Grandma for the duration of college.
One and Two have just set off to walk to school together, and I've given them some money to call at the shop on the way and buy Two a pack of Soothers, because his cough is horrible. Apart from the cough he feels ok though, so I'm risking sending him in. Am 75% sure I will get a phone call while I'm in Middlewich basically asking me what on earth he is doing in school... we shall see!
When I spoke to Mum last night (to ask her if One can go to hers on Friday morning as she has an extra, unexpected INSET day for some reason) I was bewailing this juggling act, and asked her what she did when she went back to work. My brother and I were 8 and 10 when she went back, but she only did two days a week. She said she couldn't remember, and that we probably just were never ill! LOL.
However, thanks to my wonderful mother, I will still have 100% attendance so far at college. I truly could not do this without her.
