Are you going anywhere nice on the school outing, bananas? DD1 is quite excited because her class is going to the local history museum next week - they haven't been out much at all this (academic) year, so any kind of trip is quite exciting.
DD2 will tell me a little more about school than DD1 does, but usually only if I let her tell me in her own time - I don't get much out of her if I ask directly. It's normally only things like who was late for school because they slept in, though; she didn't tell me that she'd been bitten by one of the boys in her class, for example (I found that out from a friend of hers).
I should really make notes when I go to the doctor's as there's always something I forget to ask during the appointment. There are certain words that I stumble over too - I couldn't remember once whether bösartig had an umlaut or not (really should have known, as it comes from böse) but decided that if I said it wrong but quickly enough, the doctor might not notice! Could you try writing down ehrgeizig 10 times, say, or put it up on a post-it somewhere so that it goes in that way?
Yes, lots of snow here again this morning - DH's snow shovel had mysteriously disappeared when he went out to clear the path, so he had to use one of the DC's, but it was back outside the front door when I got back from the school run so I suspect one of the neighbours had borrowed it.
Hope your DD is better now hupa and that the rest of you don't come down with it. DD1 and I were both ill with some kind of virus last week; it was the first time that DD1 had ever missed school due to illness, but luckily it was only for one day - her best friend was off the whole week.
