well, kind of. First day working anyway. Managed to drag myself out of bed when the alarm went off at 8, and was working by 8.13. Only having to go to the next room may have had something to do with that 😉 Spent the first three and a half hours dealing with about 1000 emails, the result of the first three weeks of my absence. At that point, my mailbox exploded and they had to remove me from all the groups I’m usually in 😀 So that was amusing. It gives a different picture to read emails in that kind of density actually, quite a useful exercise. Not that I’m recommending 4 week absences!
Kids pottered off downstairs – I was quite amused to look out on the landing at one point and see an upside down Small. “What are you doing?”
He straightened up, brushed his hair out of his eyes (it doesn’t actually go in his eyes, but apparently it did for long enough for him to have developed a habit) and said “I was standing on my head.” Obviously. Then he came to give me a cuddle, and then he cleared off in search of breakfast. 🙂
Took a late lunch break and sorted bedding out of the tent. Tried to summon up the energy to take it down, but couldn’t. The kids seemed similarly lethargic, not nearly as much scootering as has been going on, although they did run around outside a bit. There was also much more playing of Sonic the hedgehog, although apparently they’ve found a level with a giant egg which is causing some problems. Tim found Worzel Gummidge for them as well, and that’s going down rather well.
Finished work around 4.45, having solved one problem this afternoon (by remembering that someone else had solved it and going to find the solution) and having my work set out for the rest of the week. They’ve been saving a problem that we had before I went off, and now there’s some urgency to get it solved, so that should keep me out of mischief. Finishing early was pleasant, and I was surprised at how tired I was, nearly fell asleep on the sofa while the kids were having a last run around outside. Tim did bath and bedding while I monopolised his puter, and then we’ve watched 4400 tonight.
Big has found something other than death to worry about now, she wants to know what happens when she’s 11 and too big for her current school. Suggestions in the usual place of suitable follow ups for flexi montessori schooling please.
