I have had a really bad head cold since last Friday (Man-flu obviously). It has made me feel dizzy and tired.
My wife is being inspected by OFSTED starting today, she got the phone call on Friday morning. She worked till 9 0'clock on Friday, all day Saturday and Sunday and finished at ten last night. She was up and out at 5:30 this morning.
I have had to look after my 11 year old son, who has aspergers, all weekend. Hard work when I sometimes felt I couldn't even stand up without falling back down.
But this morning the sun was shining, I felt better and I was confident the inspection would go well. I took my lad to school and even managed a little whistle on the way home.....UNTIL!!!!!!!!!
I spotted that one of my neighbours has put her effing christmas tree up, complete with chocolate santas and fairy lights. This has knocked me back to the depths of despair. People just cannot wait to remind you that time is moving on and that's one less year for me to exist.
