...or time to 'Get 'er done!' as a friend said on facebook about January the other day :-D
Seriously, we tried to get back to work today. And did pretty well really, some Maths was done, then some English, even a bit of American History. If the day really goes well, Science may even take place this afternoon.
Eldest isn't in a good mood though. Every first day back she shouts at me over her Maths. Today I did better than previous terms, I stayed calm. I wasn't too pleased when Second Eldest then kicked the Christmas tree in protest over his English, but again I stayed calm, helped by the fact that Eldest was by then quite happy.
Sometimes, though, I feel like we should get danger money.
Girls are engaging well with a map of the US that's temporarily on the window, they put it there. The Boy claims to hate all things American, but he did at least sit through our History, and isn't ripping the map down and stamping on it. This is progress! as is the fact he eventually did his English, when he was in school he was unmoveable.
We had a fabulous time with friends at a Crib exhibition yesterday Again, I couldn't have taken them to soemthing like that without some sort of riot a couple of years ago. We really have moved on.
Today, though, it doesn't feel like it.
Don't suppose that danger money is a feasible option with all the Tory cuts? No? Right then, next best thing, off to make more coffee.
