  • Good morning :D

    Well, reading a text book in bed had the desired effect. I had the best nights sleep I have had in a while :p until the rain woke me up at 5am.

    I have put the breakfast things in the DW & taken the kids to school. Just having a little sit before going to toddler group in about half an hour. I think I will seek out lists and plan my afternoon.

    (((Hugs))) to JoJo. The school seem to be missing the point, it seems. Have they not noticed the crutches? You need to check out the DDA (and the new Equality Act) as the school must, by law, make reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities. I hope her toes are ok, and as previously said, make sure the incident was reported. Has the attendance officer got nothing better to do? Or is it just easier for her to chase you rather than someone who just doesn't bother about their kids? :(

    Hugs & spoons to those that need them :)

    This lovely forum is making me feel like I can have a fairly clean house and a baby and I don't have to live in chaos. This is my first week though so hopefully my enthusiasm will abound.
