I'm on strike. I'm sick of DD doing nothing. I feel like an unloved, unappreciated house elf

Hugs sweetie, I feel like that tonight too. How old is your DD? I felt better when DS3 said 'come rest with me' at bedtime, he loves somebody to lie with him for a while but then says please go now I want to go to sleep. As I got out DS1 said my turn come lie with me and then DS2 joined us - they are sweet really.

DW on just having a cuppa then I'll put the WM on.

Piggers - how small on the % graph are kids when they put them on growth hormones? How much do they hope they will increase the growth by and what are the side effects? Thanks I know you will know this font of all knowledge.

The sun was shining all day and I met a couple with whom I had worked 20 years ago so it was good.

Hi Toots glad you had a good day. I'm off to the Roman Museum tomorrow, older boys have been and say it's really boring, DS3 hates Museums so we'll see - only going as school asked me to - not top of my list of places to go - call it community service.

serena

:hello:wilf, dusty, and toots!!

If I type really quickly, I may catch you before you log off...:rolleyes:

Busy, busy day. I've been asked if I would teach during my only two free lessons on Monday and Thursday, and have two hours paid for on Wednesday morning in lieu, although I wouldn't have to go into school... I've said yes, just to help out the department, and because otherwise, the new Year 9 class will not have a languages teacher. I may well be on my knees come February! I shall just have to be super organised with lesson plans and resources.

I have done the weekly shopping, DS1 has decluttered the computer table (again), but everything else will have to get finished tomorrow.

dusty and toots - thank you both for thinking of me. I'm okay, keeping my mind busy with school. I do miss Mum, although I have missed her for the past two years really. I can distinctly hear her voice from time to time (in my head I mean - I haven't completely lost it yet!).

Love and hugs, back tomorrow.
