WEDNESDAY STAFF ROOM

[MaureenMLove]

Morning all. What's 'appenin'?

I'm going to to getmy passport piccies done today. Bit foggy and icy though, so I may have to wear a hat to school to stop to prevent me looking like someone off the Hair Bear Bunch!

morning, one here waiting for one, eating brekie by herself right now! such an advantage! don't worry am right here next to them. (open plan is great!) off to drop in this morn, just put tog quick craft to take. am going to have to challenge the buddy co-ordinator today as mine hasnt seen me once yet! get more help off here!

Morning - Reflexology then dentist

How exciting

Yum, just ate our plum gratin which was lovely (think sweet yorkies with plums and almonds) and all the littlies ate, apart from my own fussy daughter. Activity this am and toddlers this pm.

Sore scar stopped after I went to bed, and gone this am - definitely think it's an activity caused thing but how am I supposed to take it easy?! Oh well, hopefully it's a normal thing and will try to take it "easy" as much as 2 full time mindees and my own that require lots of picking up!

Why are you getting your passport pics done Mo, are you going away?

dh just rang - someone ran in the back of him on the way to work! arg - what does he want me to do about it from here with three in tow! wants me to call accident repair centre to organise quote - i do wonder if he thinks i'm working at all!

Tis all booked! 4th May - 11th May! Kbear goes on the 14th That'll be 4 weeks I won't see her for, won't have time to catch up between the two either. I've never been apart from her for that long!

WOW how exciting! ummmmm I know its early but there ARE three days between 11th and 14th May y'know Mo...!

WWYD, if someone you knew shouted at their dd for not walking properly and said, 'stop walking like a spastic!'

I prob wouldnt say anything if I'm honest, but I'd bes hocked and angry

Mo, say "stop acting like a spastic!"

Em - sounds like a DH task to me. He is always asking me to do things, despite me saying NO I AM WORKING. I don't think they get it, no.

Work days though. Kbear will be working all 3 as will I. Although obviously, i don't do much, because I'm only a cm and I'll be in here most of the time! But I also do Rainbows on Monday nights & Guides on Tuesday nights, so no evening time either!

Sad thing is, I fear this child has learning difficulties which the parent isn't seeing. Ho hum, none of my business.

Morning! Just waiting for mindees to arrive! then friend and her 2 are coming over! House full today then!

Make valentines card already with dd this morning! She wanted to make them for her 2 best friends - one we are seeing today and the other we need to send today!

Going to make rice crispy cakes in heart shapes (that's the idea anyway!) and maybe put love hearts on top too! All to take home of course, not to eat here so parents can decide if healthy enough

Mo - I probably wouldn't have said anything although would have been disgusted. It is hard as not easy to get involved in others peoples business.

hi all

OK who has a good cookie recipe, mine always spread, and I've got the lakeland cutters, so want to make cookies for parents.

uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/598125 I am using this one tomorrow, seems nice and easy!

HI all, my busy day today..baby mondee sat here on knee..she's going through the 'look in a different direction to me and ill scream the house down'phase at minute!..and parents have been trying to drop her morning nap...which is not going down very wel...shes been hanging since 10.30am and is soooooooo tired

Afternoon all

Already been to hospital for DS's appt this morning, mindee and boys have had dinner now sleeping (well mindee is) babyds is laying next to me.

Rowed wth DP this morning too (not in front of mindee though or kids was before they got up! Men are so insensitive sometimes!!)

That has to be one of the most difficult parts of minding! I often what/need to shout at DD (she is 12 afterall! ) and I have to grit my teeth and shout at her through them! She gets away with so much more during the week, because by the time I've finished work and remembered I needed 'a word', the moment has gone!

Today is a good DD day though. I've just had another letter from school, congratulating her on her hard work and progress in French!

Hello - I have only had to work 8-12.30 today!

DS been very attention seeking, friend came round with baby she is hoping I can CM and even she noticed the change in him.

We are off to shops soon to buy cornflakes and cooking chocolate! Gonna make lovely choc cornflake buns with ds and then eat em all up!! Will bring some in to share.

Hi all

Lots of lovely Valentine activites going on, I see.

We've made cards with 'red velvet roses' ie scrunched up tissue paper, stuck on to them.

The baby enjoyed brushing a tissue paper square across his cheek, awww

They are all asleep now, ta-da

catch ya later

boo

Eeek! I was just dozing off there!

Who was that dozy bint moaning about us at the weekend? She's still getting to me. I keep reading her posts. In one she said, 'some of them are in there all day, you know who you are!' That'll be me then! Cheeky cow!

FYI - I haven't got any mindees until 3.30pm!
