I had very, very neat hair and was wearing pink.

Summer, perhaps it's something in the weather at the moment! I've had playground duty for the last two days, and all the rain means everything is really rather swamp-like, and the kids are just nutty! I'm having particular problems with one kid in year 7 in particular, and my nerves are very, very frayed at the moment, dealing with IVF things going wrong and adjusting to the drugs doesn't leave much patience for brats who just don't want to be there. I simply don't have the energy for it! My marking has piled up because I just couldn't face doing any of it over the weeked - I needed a break! Unfortunately, I've got kids screaming for tests to be returned, and it's really quite tempting to take a sick day and catch up - but I know I'd spend it doing other things and not marking and I need to save my sick days for my EPU.

*sigh*

I'll feel a whole heap better after a decent night's sleep!
