CAN YOU HEAR ME ???

Well, maybe you can't, but imagine the huge smile on me dial.... in 1 hour and 50 minutes I shall be walking away from school, having left B & G there for the whole day... BLISS.
I am starting my new routine today, kids to school, walk the dog, ride scooter to the gym, do my thing, go home and do the housework etc etc.

So, fingers crossed Griffin doesn't throw a huge hissy fit and scream and cry when I try to leave him....later...

BLOODY HELL.. he's sitting at the table crying already....won't eat his breakfast either... bugger bugger bugger...

Ok, got to school, Brylee settled into her new class no problem, but Griffin... well that's another story. He was like a limpet, clung to me and squarked like a banshee, so I did what I have had to do for months and left him with the teacher holding him tightly, and I RAN OUTTA THERE !!

I mean, I literally ran... picture a mad mother running away from her screaming kid... that was me!


And guess what Briony? 5 year olds don't give a shit what their mates think of them when they don't want to be at school! Griffin vomitted for 6 weeks every day in front of his mates when he started Kindergarten, he didn't give a shit. The teachers did though, so hopefully he didn't do that this morning... I wasn't staying long enough to find out... hee he.

I took the dog for a walk (in the rain) then went off to the gym, I am loving it.... the only thing I have to remember is I DON'T HAVE TO HURRY anymore, I have all day till 3 pm .... YES YES YES. Shame it's a short week and saturday and sunday will be here before I can really settle into my new routine. later...

Well, no one's rung me to come and get Griffin, so he must have been alright! I have to go and get them in a minute, today has been so lovely! Thanks for the suggestions Jules, I don't know that he's needing calming down tho, he is just a funny wee boy, likes his routines to be "just so" and does not take well to them being changed. We have had to drug him in the past just to make him sleep as he didn't sleep overnight till he was 2.5 years old! He hates the dark so sleeps with a bright light on all night, hates doors closed, is hyper active, and is a very bright boy. We love him to bits!
Well enough for now, better wander up to the school to get them... later..

GRIFFIN:
The little shit! Seems he stopped crying within about 1 minute, here I was worried about him all day and he was having a ball.... I asked him what he thought of his new class and teacher and he said "Awesome" ! GRRRRR Brylee was less enthusiastic, but still had a good day overall.
So, god help him if he cries tomorrow is all I can say.

Dinner is done, and now I'm eating this delicious ice cream (100gms = 1 point) called Sheer Delight, with apple and rhubarb, so YUMMMM. I want to lick me plate! You can't see eh? heee heee
I shall leave you all tonight with this picture of our "Dude" asleep with his two teddies, aptly named "Ted" and ..... "Ted", ha ha ... he never goes to sleep without them. So cute.
Nite nite, and sorry today's entry is so bloody long!
