Well it’s that kind of dead time on a Sunday evening…we’ve just had lots of aunties over…nice family atmosphere.
I have to say I was a little nervous about them coming over – just in case they were critical or something…but not at all. It’s all making me realise how nice it is to have our own space – to keep clean and manage.
It’s also reminded me how hard it can be to get that space in London. Being in a relationship has meant we’ve got something to create together. I wouldn’t have been able to do it all on my own – however much I might have liked to.
I still also have that Sunday evening feeling – a little tense, it’s the end of the weekend, it was all over too quickly, and there’s lots of things I feel I should have done, and haven’t…not massively productive.
It’s been a pretty intense week. Parents’ Evening for Year 11 was full-on, but funny…at one point two of my boys were feeling very awkward as I told parents about seeing them outside school. Both boys were visibly relieved that I deliberately didn’t mention seeing them smoking…
ahh what power I have!
I’ve also been feeling a bit under the weather…a cold doesn’t have to be very strong to affect me – especially being around a lot of germ-carriers…I’m sure teachers’ immune systems must get strongly affected – or maybe it was all the shouting I’ve been doing 😉
Still – this weird state of mind is helped by my Pilates…it actually does work, but it takes a lot of perseverance, and concentration.
Hmm…ok more marking beckons…
