Hello wall
It is the weekend and I am facing into a pile of work. Some of it is my own dratted fault for not being able to add 9 but there are three other projects that have been unhelpfully dumped on me with 'must finish!' deadlines because other people are running late. Gah! All I can do is look forward to a rest next weekend ... oh wait, that's right, more urgent marking will hit me next Friday. Am tired in my bones. How do people manage full time teaching when they have kids? It doesn't seem possible.
This has been something of a Hellish week adrenalin wise. Several nice things happened, like lunch out with the kiddiwinks and my parents on Thurs which was a lovely surprise and a playdate on, er, Wed? (yup Wed!) with irishkate where DD got to put up with her Mama meeting a friend and enjoying herself which was a bit of a shock to the system. From my POV it was DELIGHTFUL to have someone over 5 to talk to. Poor DD! Surrounded by 'grown up talk'. *snickers*
Should have known better than to try and repeat the success too quickly. My playdate with mizkit fell through yesterday because the car battery was flat and so instead of a nice, calm lunch with friend and husband and offspring. BB and I were dealing with the AA and getting a replacement battery for the weekend while Mr Wol had to play hookey from work to collect DD from school and wait about for me to appear with functioning wheels. Sometimes technology does not help as much as you want it to. Although mobile phones did in this sitch at least.
Ideally I'd like the last week back. I feel like it has been stolen away by wicked forces intent on driving me nutso. Remember the men in grey from Michael Ende's Momo? Yeah. them!
