Spread your wings and fly away

My son comes home from school with a permission form for me to fill out from the Music service.

He wants to play an instrument.

Great thinks I, he can play the clarinet.

No.

Flute?

No.

Trumpet, says I fingers crossed behind back and fearing neightbours reaction.

No.

Hoping for a good response to this one - Guitar?

No.

What then.

The Drums.

OMG he wants to play the drums. As if I don't suffer from enough headaches!!!!!

No idea why, he just thinks it will be great playing the drums.

Apparently he can't learn to play the guitar, because there is no teacher for it anymore - oh yes I forgot, the really nice man with the gorgeous eyes and beautiful fingers has moved on to pastures new. Damm.

Molt if you fancy a career change hun and wish to teach the guitar there are several children round here dying to learn lol!!!

Secretly hoping child will decide against playing the drums but looking into childs eager face earlier, I can see that won't be the case!

................................................................

My leg is covered in bruises where I have walked into children's chairs today. The classroom is fairly big, but badly laid out and the chairs not exactly the same height as normal chairs so if I am not walking into the edge of a table it is those wretched chairs!

.................................................................

And onto chairs of a different kind.

The kind that is head of a Governing body. Yes it is what I affectionaly call silly season, the season where the school Governing body meets once again and elect the chair, vice chair and sorts out the committees.

Had the high school one last week. First meeting back.

Chair approaches me and generally chats, passing pleasantries and asks if I am interested as standing as chair of one of the commitees.

Explain I have very little free time especially as I will be busy with another school I am also on the Governing body of, and we have some staffing issues to deal with.

We come to the start of the meeting. He is elected as chair of the main Governing body, no surprise there.

He then asks if anyone wishes to stand as vice chair.

Everyone looks at floor, ceiling, nails, anywhere but at him.

Any nominations he asks.

None.

He then says "Well I nominate Samantha"

I spit orange juice over table, knew it would be a bad idea to drink at this point!

The nomination is seconded and everyone agrees on it.

And so I am now vice chair of the Governing body - yes me - the person who usually sits and doodles all over her minutes and barely says a word unless I have to!!

There are times when I wonder why I am doing this lol!!!

First saw this group on the tv show Las Vegas, on sky 2 last week. They are soooooooooooo happy, and the tune is really catchy as well!!

I have just finished my roast dinner and was looking forward to putting feet up in front of the telly.

However not going to.

Nigel still not home yet, he said he was going to work late today, and as he isn't home yet one can assume that this will be the case. A lovely roast dinner is in the microwave waiting for him.

I hate cooking roasts mid week, but as I didn't do a roast on Sunday thought I should make the effort today - Nig loves his roasts.

I have refused to bring work home today. I know that I am behind with a lot of it, but decided that it can wait until I get to work tomorrow. Things have not improved much but we are getting there after much discussion with various ppl. I have been training on the computer this afternoon, so my head is feeling fuzzy, the sort of feeling you get when you have stared at the computer screen for a long time!

And now a little joke that someone sent me

Mike is getting along in years and finds that he is unable to perform sexually.

He finally goes to his doctor who tries a few things, but nothing
seems to work. So the doctor refers him to an American Indian medicine man.

The medicine man says, "I can cure this." That said, he throws a
white powder in a flame, and there is a flash with billowing blue smoke. Then he says, "This is powerful medicine. You can only use it once a year. All you have to do is say, '123,' and it shall rise for as long as you wish!"

The guy then asks, "What happens when it's over, and I don't want to continue?"

The medicine man replies: "All you or your partner has to say is 1234,and it will go down. But be warned - it will not work again for another year."

Mike rushes home, eager to try out his new powers and prowess. That
night he is ready to surprise Margaret. He showers, shaves, and puts
on his most exotic shaving lotion. He gets into bed, and lying next to her,says, "123."

He suddenly becomes more aroused than anytime in his life....just as the medicine man had promised.

Margaret, who had been facing away, turns over and asks, "What did you say
123 for?"

**** And now you know why you shouldn't end a sentence with a
preposition.

Oh it is lovely to have my computer back again!

Kids not so happy as mother is now hogging it again!

Been looking up my pirate name

Iron Ethel Cash

A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr

Not too sure about this one, though one of the kids at school said I was cruel. why? I made him write out his spellings that he got wrong 3 times!! Said if that is the worst he has to face then he will be lucky! My spelling group will know how to spell properly by the time I have finished with them!!

Well better get a move on another lot of washing needs to be hung out and meat in the oven before I toodle of to work.

Have a good day!
