Spread your wings and fly away

Friend of mine has just got engaged!!

Yes it was that time of year again.

There we were heading off for the annual chat with Simons form tutor about how he is progressing, which as usual is 'he is good, great, wonderful'

I must admit he is good with his studies and he knows what he wants to do so that helps

He did tell his teacher about the problems with his English teacher, who has marked down all his grades, and it turns out he wasn't the only one that had complained so that is good.

Was given a booklet about his college choices so that is obviously the next fun thing we will have to do!

Oh and she is recommending him as a senior prefect for next year as well as she is pleased at how well he has coped with the peer mentoring.

I am so pleased that he is doing so well.

been neglectful today and try as I might I cannot seem to get onto friends posts to comment so sorry if I haven't passed by or posted a comment, having problems this end.

Hopefully normal service will resume soon

Hugs

Well hubby has come home and examined. Moved it slightly so we could get out of kitchen door and said "yes we will leave it here"

Good idea except it now interferes with the washing line.

The problem is the door to the kitchen opens outwards into the garden and there is a step, therefore when you open the kitchen door you hit the Gazebo which is lower.

So now he is rummaging in the garage for bits and pieces (it is amazing what elelctricians keep because it might just come in handy) for something that he can fix the gazebo to the wall with, above the kitchen door!

Oh what fun!!!

It was a simple idea.

Put up a gazebo.

Nothing fancy, just a cheap aluminium pole one with a plastic cover, £19.99 from Homebase, a bargain.

Son has put it up for me and it covers the patio nicely.

Problem, can't get out of the kitchen door, gazebo in the way!

Right so now have to think of a way of raising the gazebo so that we can have a functional kitchen door once more!

I can't even explain how I feel at the moment. Needless to say despite the sun shining brightly all I can feel is a black cloud, above and around me.

I know I blew things out of proportion yesterday but for heavens sake is it really too much to ask that for once, just once, we spend the day, a nice day at that, as a family? Is it my fault he forgot to book some days off work so that we spent some time together over Easter? The kids have gone no where this year because he was working. He worked all weekend and said yesterday it will only be for a couple of hours. 7 hours later I am sitting there still waiting for him to come home, yet when I have a go at him he tells me there was a 'problem with the lights!' and cannot see what I am so angry about!

Ok so next weekend we get Sunday together, but if it wasn't for St Georges day Festival then it would mean that he would be working instead. I am fed up with it all.

As for today well preparations for going back to work tomorrow needs to be done. I have to sort out Richards school uniform and name it all, change the beds, get to the shops and try and buy a Gazebo and then make sure I have everything I need. I really don't wnat to go back though it will give me something to do and less to worry about

Right off to get dressed and ready to face the day ahead
