Good morning DH and DD off at Little Athletics Open Day. I was going to go but too tired and the boys aren't well. Wade had a bit of a temp after his needles (the MMR ones he should have had at 1yo) and Niall ALSO had a temp and a runny nose! So between both boys I was up and down again last night like a yo-yo... also we had a very noisey thunderstorm here last night. I heard the rumbling and went outside to bring in washing at 1am... then 5 minutes later I was back in bed, doing a bit of needlework 'cos I couldn't sleep, then a humungeous thunderclap rocked the house... all the lights went out... I grabbed DH's arm... he was asleep beside me and didn't really hear it until I said "sh*t! wake up!" LOL then Verity came running through the house moaning and saying that she was scared so I gave her a hug... then Niall woke up... so I went in to deal with him... I listened out for Wade but thankfully he slept through it... the lights came back on after the thunderclap was over thankfully. If I had been outside when that happened I would have been petrified, maybe hit the deck and started wimpering! So that was my night... *yawn*

s'pose I'd better get dressed.

Ali: did you mean that you did relief work with a young grade? What age/year? I agree, working with little 'uns is physically/emotionally AND mentally exhausting... why teachers of the Early Years get paid less than other teachers I'll never know!

Uh oh... DH and DD back home early... some drama...
