Weekly Flylady Thread 15th March 2010

Please count me in for this week, and thanks to pigpen for the lists, and who ever it doing the stars thanks as well, but I am confused as to who does the stars now.

Evening all,

Massive hugs to LadyL - tried to call, but understand that you're obviously not up to talking at the moment - I'm here when you are ready or need to.

What I'm about to say seems so trivial compared to this, but I decluttered a lesson observation this afternoon after the day from hell. Got in this morning to find that colleague was off sick, so I didn't have the maths sheets for both classes as she'd only sent me the plans last night. Then I found out that my lesson observation was going to be straight after lunch 1-2. I ended up spending the whole of break and assembly time trying to print and photocopy maths sheets instead of doing my display for my obs, so had no time at lunch to set up the laptops etc to check they were all working. I got a satisfactory in the end which is ok, but I'm feeling really rubbish - the cold that started on Saturday has got worse, and I couldn't hear in my right ear, I'm completely bunged up, and when I swallow or sniff, my neck hurts. Everyone at school seems to be ill with different variations on a theme, so cover is short. My Mum thinks I should take tomorrow off sick, but I don't know. Kids have been a nightmare too - 2 of them had a fight in the middle of my lesson observation, and the usual suspects let me down by sitting on their backsides and doing nothing all lesson!! My Mum thinks colleague has done it deliberately, and that I should call in sick tomorrow. It's very tempting at the moment.

I shall start clearing out some of my things from school this week. I may have to do a couple of later nights to get all of the filing up-to-date, but at least I can clear some piles of paperwork.

Lots of us are going out for a curry on Friday night, which I'm really looking forward to. Curry is good for colds, and as we all have colds anyway, I don't have to feel guilty about spreading germs.

Well I'd better get on with a bit of marking before dinner.

Hugs to all who need or want them.

Huge hugs for LL, Toots and Sandy....hope all works out for the best xx

Just spent 10 mins picking up and putting away in DD;s room, with her help and hopefully she will realise that 5 or 10 mins every day will keep it so much tidier, who knows....

Giving up for the day, kitchen is tidy(apart from some dishes), LR is tidy and I am pooped!!!!

I'm exhausted now, need the rest of the week to recover! Will be mopping the floor tomorrow to get my star (well earned I feel!), but as for the rest of the weeks lists, anything I manage will be a bonus!

Sandy - Positive thoughts for tomorrow, it is good that you are able to see someone so quickly, despite how worried you are feeling, the quicker you get some answers, the better.

Ruth - What an awful week, I really feel for you...

soappie

Jinky - please pass on my thoughts, prayers, hugs and miracles to L-L when you have a moment.

Oh boy, seems I'm in trouble. Had to nip up to best friend up the road's house for a signature on something. She had some info to impart. Remember I picked up an old boy for a meeting last week? Well, seems his git faced son who lives just round the corner (known to be a money grabbing bully apparently) has been in the corner shop demanding to know where I live because he wants to know how dare I take him out etc. etc.....The corner shop (fortunately!) didn't release that info to him.

I am now in a real quandary. When I dropped the old boy back last week, he said he wanted to come to a public meeting on Weds. I said I'd organise a lift for him (which probably means I'll pick him up myself!). I don't know what to do now. I arranged to pick him up for last week's meeting after phoning him on the suggestion of a Council officer.

He does not appear to be gaga in anyway, just physically frail. He lives in sheltered accommodation and has his own flat - even though there are loads of panic buttons etc.. The wardens were very aware I was taking him out in his wheelchair (I even went to the office with him because there was an issue with his keys) and there was no obstruction from them.

What do I do now? I can't phone him and say "your son says he doesn't want me taking you out" and yet the old boy seemed to positively enjoy coming to the meeting last week and will enjoy Wednesday's.

NN has suggested I phone the home tomorrow and speak to the warden and see if there's any reason why the old boy can't come out on a jaunt which I will do. But I wondered if you clever flyladies had any suggestions or advise on how to deal with the situation

soappie

Sexym - if I were you I WOULDN'T call in sick tomorrow - I'd go in regardless in the hopes I spread the germs where they were most needed (i.e. evil head and traitor colleague) so that they couldn't, ever, pin the "can't cope with stress" button on me.

Sounds like you did really really well under the circumstances so big yourself up about it and be confident
Hugs xxx

Ok that's it for me tonight gang. DD has just been bathed and nit patrolled. I'm happy to report no visitors!!:j Goodness knows how she avoids getting them considering two in her class are persistently itching :eek:

Anyhow, I'm done in after my first day back flying. Pleased with what's been achieved though.

Tatty nite and see you all tomorrow
