School

My big girl has started school last week. She was a cranky toddler over the weekend because of lack of sleep. I was a bit of a weepy mother, but no-one really noticed. Luckily I'm still on maternity leave, or I couldn't go along (having to work at my own school).
Speaking of my own school, there's still a big bulk of frustration that I couldn't enrol Little Bit at one of the schools I teach at. She was the victim of a crappy procedure, ending up on the waiting list. The head teacher who promised to pull some strings suddenly found his hands were tied. Yeah, that's my boss: big promises are made and nothing comes of it.
We might still get a phone call that another kid changed schools. We might.
