Well, hello everyone, and I hope your Monday isn't too hectic.
It seemed to be morning very quickly, and very very cold. I'm sure we were in the minuses again. My fingers were fairly frozen.
I had an extra child overnight, another German Student who was having trouble at her host family. So, she stayed over and I had to work out how to get her to school, since it was in the opposite direction. I had prepared all the lunches last night, and put the breakfast bowls and cerreal out before going to bed.
I got up early, and slowly roused everyone else.
DS had to go to work, cherub to school, and GSx2 to schools in opposite directions, and DD12 to her dance school for two exams. Wow! I was tired just thinking about it.
So, the morning went well at least. Everyone was on time or early.
daughter's exam was running late, I went to visit a lady who is rather depressed. Tried to cheer her up, then visited with an 88 year old lady who's getting feeble and feeling down about it.
inbetween, cherub's school rings to say she's soiled x 100!!! and no clothes left. It was not in the plan to pick people up early, so I had to work out what to do about daughter who hadn't done her 2nd exam yet and would be finished first. Decided to get cherub, pointed out to the school there were actually clean clothes in her bag! Nevermind, took her home,showered and fed her afternoon tea, then started the pick up of everyone else.
Dropped DS off to home, asking him to keep an eye on the roast. He let it burn, and burn and burn, and didn't remove from the heat. Why is that? I don't know, but it made me cross.
Picked up GS#2 and took cherub to doctor. She is going to refer us to a psychologist, did full examination and will see us again next week.
Picked up daughter, had her violin retuned and came home to burn offerings.
Salvaged burnt offerings, added nice veges and called it dinner.
GS#2 is moving from her host family as they are terrible drunks. So I have an extra student until they find a new placement.
Tomorrow my aunt and uncle arrive for six days. So, I have to do a lot of rearranging to accommdate 8 people in a house designed for 2/3!
This is the short version!
I did say to DD12, I sometimes long for the days when it was just the two of us, and relatively uncomplicated.
