...oh thank goodness - school returns on Thursday. Yeah, it's been an incredibly long summer, mainly because my mother (who tends to do quite a lot of the filling in childcare during vacations) has recently had a hip replacement and is unable to move a great deal, let alone run after a lively six-year-old. I am currently looking after my son and a friend's similarly aged daughter and well, it's OK I suppose but I cannot imagine having a whole brood of children, unless of course I wanted to start up my own singing group? Other people's kids are strange, I never really know how to deal with them and their presence seems to make my own child's behaviour rather strange. That said, I like him to have playdates as he's a bit of a strange lonely soul and socialising is good for him, however I really don't like my stuff being flung around the house by nosey primary school age children.
Talking of such, I've just ventured into the living room and yes, it's ransacked. Maybe this is a good reason not to bother tidying any more? You'd better believe it. Back to work tomorrow - for a rest - at least my colleagues don't pester me for Nobbly Bobbly lollies on the hour, every hour.*
*It's Mars Bar ice creams usually; Cornettos on a Thursday.
