By 8am I had already had two cups of VERY strong black coffee, and was feeling a little sick at the stress of it all. Bell goes and like pavlovs dog... i respond by turning off music, wiping any trace of a smile off my face and walking out and shouting at aforementioned children to get in line.
Children in my class are reasonable and at the moment being very compliant little sheep. Got some good characters, and some overly helpful children. Character of the day award goes to one boy in my class who has turned up with half of one of his two top front teeth after falling over on holiday in turkey. The only smile that was broken by me all morning was when he told me this story and while trying to give him the "this is not the time nor place" look, I misheard him and thought he had fallen over a turkey. Hmmm Note to self: pay attention to children and try not to laugh at their misfortune.
These darlings of my life for the next 10 months (just realised thats just longer than a pregnancy
I shall note down day one as a 4TP/1W/0C/0TO. This is a good balance i find... a small amount of praise and a warning to show i'm not a push over. Yes very good.
School has taken my mind off how much I want to be away still, however coming home to empty house has made me eat more than i should and cradle a cusquena for the last hour. This melancholy state of mind has been rewarded by the only thing on TV being f'ing Big brther penultimate eviction. I never thought I'd hate it as much as i do right now. As if its still on... its mocking my summer i'm sure.
Cats are the only distraction from this... Currently Marley is asleep on my lap and JAck is continuing his slightly neurotic behaviour of trying to scoop all the litter out of the litter tray and running around the house meowing. THink he may be unwell. will monitor situation and report soon.
Will leave with the thought that tmrw is another day. In fact tmrw has already happened in australia.
