Spread your wings and fly away

I can't even explain the day I have had today - so not going to try. lets just say that it was one of those days where you get so wound up and annoyed that I am still angry about it all and yet there was no reason to make it this way!

Spent this evening helping coaxing youngest to do his homework. he has a spelling test tomorrow and is really struggling with remembering to spell some of the words. I have done all the usual tactics with him to help him remember but so far none seem to be working - he struggles to retain information like that his spelling is very poor! So words for him to learn this week have been -

Could, should, mould, would, boulder (all of which he can do) then we get to the ones he is struggling with - people, marriage, carriage, orchestra, aeroplane.

Eldest child has found out his coursework should have been handed in today, he thought it was to be handed in on Friday - so yet again has been furiously trying to type it all up on the computer. his teacher let him have an extra day once he had explained that he had been given the wrong information (he was absent from class on the day they were originally told due to having to go to see another teacher). Not impressed but he should have checked!

Oh well better get back to the sewing!

The day promises to be a fine one. The weather man says that we will have good weather today! Oh joy! I got drowned yesterday picking youngest up from school, soaking wet but there was the brightest rainbow I have ever seen with another one in front of it, that was duller! Everyone was pointing and talking about it!

Today I have to do a literacy and P.E . lesson - those poor poor children! Nearly finished the dreaded display boards, just one more to do now!

Haven't been around much as I have been stitching furiously. Two samplers to do before Christmas, not much fun, also Simon had a huge amount of coursework for his History to type up as it has to be in on Friday - and being so totally unorganised as usual he has done it all at the last minute! Fair play he has written it down but it needed to be typed up on the computer!

Oh and something funny happened. Half asleep in shower, washing hair and thought why is it taking so long to get the soap out of hair this morning? Realised I was using shower gel on my head rather than shampoo! So now ended up with a bad hair day!!!

Oh well better get off and sort my lunch out - long day at work today!
