Ok so today was pretty average as days go. Not much needed doing, a few problems to sort out, a few children who were not quite with it due to having yesterday off, a few children who had forgotten to bring reading books in, a few members of staff who had a ball at the weekend and were still suffering today.
Pretty average day really
However it was very cold in school. Stupidly, because we always complain about how hot our classroom is, I just wore a thin longsleeve tshirt with my trousers and no cardigan, and no heating on, sno sun to heat the classroom so I spent all day shivering - great probably will have flu by the end of the week now!
Then leaving work and heading off to Sainsburys for something for tea, and a few bits and pieces for my lunch tomorrow before arriving home to be told that we all had to go to MIL to wish her happy birthday (69 today), and the first thing out of her mouth was "so where are you taking me for my 70th then".
Give us a chance woman, I wanted to scream, but I was good, I kept quiet, smiled sweetly and muttered to Nigel under breath we are not staying long!
Talking of my OH, one of my friends was telling me today how much she envied our relationship. She split from her ex a few years ago. Her reasons for her envy was the fact that we get on so well, we are very much alike in temperament, we enjoy each others company and we laugh together. Nothing frazes us really and we can act stupid round each other. He never gets upset if I talk to other blokes or flirt in the same way as I never get jealous when he talks to other girls, or passes comment on them as he passes in the street. In fact as i said to Meno earlier, if one of us misses something when out the other will point it out. Yes we are compatible, our kids think we are mad, but they like the fact that we can all have a laugh and are not overly serious, so yes it is a match made in heaven and we are very much in love.
I wish all my friends had what we have. His friends treat me as one of them, whereas their wives are on the sidelines at times becuase they don't do the 'chatter.' Talk with the boys is football, sex, football, work, sex etc and I just join in - tone of conversation may end in the gutter, but we have a laugh! Their wives don't do that, they can be quite prudish - in fact when one found her husbands stash of porn she went mental and destroyed it all! She won't even allow him to watch some music channels because some of the videos show scantily clad women! Me, yes he may have it and it really doesn't bother me, because I feel the more you make a point about it, the more they are likely to look at it or secretly hide it. I know where Nig keeps his
But I digress. So many of my friends relationships have dissolved, leaving a trail of bitterness and recriminations, and yet 19 years ago so many people, when we announced we were moving in together 2 months after being 'official', told us that it wouldn't last! Yet here we are. why I can't say except that he is my soulmate, my lover, my friend, my confidante, my friend.
are you?
