Exhausted

I am so tired. I guess recovering from flu has really taken it out of me plus the fact the kids have been with me all weekend and the weather has not been particularly kind!

I sat yesterday thinking I would get my Employment law ETMA out of the way. I surprised myself at how quickly I actually managed to get through it until I read the question again .............................!!! Not only had I answered it on behalf of an employer, I had also put a whole load of employee "fidelity" duties in which were not required. Upon taking out what should never have been there in the first place cut my word count drastically ! I am now wondering what more I can add to "confidence and trust.................."!! Perhaps tackling an assessment when I am not fully 100% was not ideal!

To be honest, I think I actually got stuck into it as my brain is dealing much better with theoretical right now rather than numbers and I do have a HUGE financial reporting assessment coming up! Yeh, my brain is soooooooooo good theoretically it added in a whole load of unnecessary stuff !

So tomorrow it is back to class after almost 2 weeks off sick and let me tell you I do NOT feel overjoyed about the prospect! Monday is a nippy day in any event as I have nursery/school drop off, full day of class, nursery/school pick up and then the Brownie run which I totally do not like when the dark nights have set in.

Chloe had 2 unhappy discoveries this weekend. First of all she discovered the tooth fairy did not exist (she found teeth I had kept - like I was to know she would go hunting ) so asking me a direct question and NOT wanting to lie to my daughter, I had to tell her the truth. By telling her the truth that lead into the question of the big fat man in the red suit - "does Santa exist then mummy................"! What could I say? Could I lie???? I retorted with "well what do you think..............."! She said she believed in him and I said "well that is great then........."! Would she leave it at that? Nope! She continued to press me and then begged me to "tell the truth"! Considering she is 9 I guess she has done pretty well to believe up until now and that said I have my serious suspicion she knew all along but did not let on. She has promised not to spill the beans to Ruaraidh and actually said "does that mean I can eat the cookie and drink the milk instead of grandad this year........................"!

Then came the final question "Mummy, now I know about the tooth fairy and santa, please don't tell me Jesus does not exist either................."!!!! With that, I will end - too many questions this weekend !

An early night beckons :0) laters :0) x
