DEAR SPOOK, no pictures today because I am on the wrong computer and photo's are on the other one. Right. I've changed my mind. I don't care that you only have 12 days left. They are 12 too many. Get your butt back over here NOW!
I did business in town and then came home. Went to print out Finn's homework for him to work on tonight. It wouldn't print and I figured it was out of ink. Took printer back to town to make sure got the right ink. Back home to print and it wouldn't print. Printer not working. Took laptop to No Fuss office. Plugged into printer. Printer out of ink. Took laptop to work. Printer wouldn't install. Will take laptop back to work tomorrow and try another printer. I will not come home until I have got the job done. (and yes, I will find some kind person who will put it on a little stick and print it for me and it will all be calm and unhysterical, and thanks for that advice that you were just about to give me). Meanwhile, found a very sad boy at home because he needs a parent at home to help with homework. Found very industrious daughter who had cleaned and tidied the kitchen to a highly polished finish. The fridge had been tidied and tupperwared to the max. Cupboards tidied and a severe warning that they should stay that way. I also found two christmas wish lists and between the sad boy and the industrious girl (Finn heated the beans while she worked), they feel pretty confident they deserve a granting of their wishes. I will be out the door 5 minutes after they get up tomorrow and have said NO to working tomorrow night as well. They will be abandoned on Thursday night, semi-abandoned on Friday night, abandoned on Saturday night and all day Sunday. This is not a good week for family life or homework, but an excellent week for blackmail/guilt trip.
Meg has far more enthusiasm for school and is being offered a lot more support. I missed a message from last week to meet with learning support because of the late shifts and Meg trying to remember too many things. Also missed AGM for Dyslexia support group and Parent Council. YOu need come home so that I can be out even more!!!! How easy life was when I went out to my tennis lesson once a week.
