I'm waiting on the three o'clock home time for the senior son. I wonder how he went at school, and whether he enjoyed it. I talked to another mother on the way home who has just sent her third off to Gonville - they have all had the same teacher at the start, and she says this teacher, who has the joy of senior son, is fantastic. Very calm, clear boundaries, and the patience of a saint. Perhaps the patience of a pope dealing with the media!
The junior son is asleep, and I have done a reasonable amount of thesis in the snooze time - may this Ctinue please, whoever Ctrols these things. It would be great to palm it off to god, but I suspect my work habits are actually my own responsibility.
So the first day of feeling like a real mom at home has been calm and successful. I have my first night of work tonight, which will be okay. Damn shame about the pay rates, but its either work for little and have the rest of my time to myself, or take on something a bit more substantial, and the book will never be done. Realistically. By gum though, the fact I am working is going to stop me from freaking out financially. I am freaking out study wise instead now. Watch me worry...

It must be a bit of a relief to know that the teacher is an experienced saint.
