Sniffle Sniffle

I was well stressed out yesterday :( struggling for childcare, Nursery being incredibly incompetently run and a sick mum and sister (childcare) eeeeek - I did my best to try and find alternatives but in the end had to Dump little E on my mum which I really didnt want to do as she was not well at all - after all the hassle of the morning and battling with E's father to try and get some parental support from him was a nightmare - so poor mum had E dropped on her and me bursting out crying due to stress overload - all before 8am lol - I don't generally moan about being a single parent cause I love E to bits but somtimes I would just love someone to be there fore me with a big cuddle hmmmmm - that being someone who is faithful who is not gonna run off with another woman hmmm!!! - ok enough said lets move on.....

Today a bit better lol - largly due to Being off work due to support staff being on strike therefore able to take mum to docs to get antibiotics, then visit to dads grave as he would have been 70 this Friday :( so miss him, however still managed to upset my sister and D (who is not not ever ever gonna talk to me ever again hmmmmm) - why can't people just understand that I am so busy so that if I don't return a call, answer a question etc - its not due to the fact that I am being difficult or selfish it is merely a case of what day is it? stress city?? Who am I??? - can't wait to get this bloody assignment handed in! - Am I being unreasonable?

Ok rant over with enough work for tonight I am shattered..... Heres hoping a better end to week than start - oh which incidentally promises to be on Friday night ;)

Uni and Mothers Day :)

So spent about 3 hours with A at Uni this afternoon so kinda getting there but very slow but at least I am making sense (according to A) lol don't know if I'm right but at least I understand the principles so the work I did this morning really paid off too - I took the day off work to get sorted and felt really guilty but have to admit I really needed it as I was getting so stressed out with it!!!!

Anyway got back to my mums and was told to wait at the door by a very excited 4 year old lol (too excited to wait till Sunday of course) - who then appeared with a gorgeous hand made mothers day card with a hand made basket full of hand made chocolate chip cookies (bless) then a bunch of flowers which she had begged Granny to buy for the best mum in the world - needless to say there were tears - me being of that frame of mind at the moment and lots of hugs :)Then she came out with "Little girls have to wait for their mummies to offer them a cookie because they are special ones" with begging eyes etc etc so I relented - there were 4 in the basket I had one and a half, granny had a quarter and E had 2 and a quarter lol - bloody gorgeous they were too :)

Apart from than sis and hubby and kids and granny all suffering with flu which I have escaped so far and E has sneezes hmmmm - trip to Whitby for Fish and Chips on mothers day could be in doubt lol.

OK I feel awful saying about E being a sick note now. Got to last lesson of the day and the phone went in the server room. I answered it to my mum saying im really sorry but I'm not sure what to do. E at this point was crying and sobbing in the background saying I want my mummy (talk about pulling at heart strings)it turns out she had been unconsoluble for an hour saying her arms, legs, head etc hurt. E is never one to put illness on so I put phone down and rang doctors straight away and got an emergency appointment.

Finished last lesson in a blur and ran out the school - was in car by 3.13pm - school finishes at 3.10pm as docs appointment was at 3.50pm and it takes 25 mins to get to my mums and 20 mins to get back to Guisborough (you do the math lol). Anyway god knows how but I made it....

Anyway she has an infection in her tonsils which is affecting her joints etc etc and basically making her feel crap so she now had medicine - bless

YAAAWWWWNNNNNN

Wednesday night started off with good intentions...had a lovely conversation with S then it all went wrong - about 11ish pm E woke up and chucked up all over the place so no sleep that night - taking her to mum's on Thursday she decided to chuck up in my car - mmmmmmmmm - Late for work but luckily was free first thing. So last night got back to my mums for a check up before Uni and sat down for 5 mins - 5 mins turned into a 2 hour sleep on the sofa so woke up in time to get to Uni for my second lesson - however as I woke up with the worlds worst headache I decided enough was enough and I would not concentrate anyway so went to bed lol.

Anyway slept right through (must have needed it) and feeling loads better today - loads of work to do for Uni with another assignment (the dreaded PHP and SQL)due in next Friday - oh joy! So gonna turn into a hermit this weekend to get it cracked I think - really struggling not being able to get to the tutorials but with any luck I might scrape a decent pass mark like last times "B".

Anyway E getting better but not eating much however she has learned quickly how to use a sick note to her advantage - in a winey voice muuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm cant you get......... and so on etc etc.

Incidentally talking about sick notes I hope you are feeling better C - certainly missed you this week at work and I am very very sorry but the JFD health thing went out the window today - couldn't get dohnuts but got caramel shortbread instead :) - D was having withdrawal symptoms lol.

Man Hating.......

Toilet seat - oooops...

Ok so you all saw the pics of the lovely new tiolet seat which E chose - well when I fitted it (yes I did it myself he he) I basically followed my instict - how hard can it be to fit a loo seat? anyway stuck it on - tightened it up - voila!!! There was a couple of other things on the paper but as with all intructions they were in a foreign language...Anyway things were fine...for a while....

Then... S from next door comes round to play with E - ahhh blesss - NOT - he went to the loo put the seat up then the ring (as all boys do) and smash - it falls back down on his little manhood - ouch - water in eyes job I think you will agree - I have now figured out that the extra instructions were to tighted the bolts holding the ring to the rest of the seat hmmmm - question is - Do I take it all off again to tighten it up - bearing in mind loo seats are awkward at the best of times - or do I leave it and just warn male guests????

Dancing Room Mate

I'm not sure if I have posted this on my blog before (doh memory loss) and I know I have sent it on to a few people a long time ago but I just think this is sooooo funny - put your sound up and click on the link above in the title and get ready to giggle to some cool moves....LOL

In case you are wondering....

I am back at work following my bout of mumps and feeling loads better albeit still sightly under the weather - I surely must have had my lot now???? God knows I must be getting immune to all those 700 kids by now!!!!!

Birthday Girl

It is E's birthday this Friday (4 eek) but since she is at her dads at the weekend I had her birthday party this weekend. The only downside is cause I've been suffering with the mumps virus I've been really tired but thanks to great friends and family who helped out so I basically did the bare minimum it was great as you can see from the pics of birthday girl and the fab cake K (my sister made), not only did it look good as I am sure you will agree it also tasted great even though I hated to cut into it to ruin it.

All in all a good but tiring weekend and back at work in the morning to good nightlts sleep called for.
