Fortunately today was much less stressful. The kids were lovely and co-operative, though I did have to yell at the yr 9's today now I think about it, but they were a lot better after that.
Watched rippa rugby this afternoon with the eldest playing and the youngest cheering for him. Certainly the eldest is much more involved in the sport this year and is not lying down on the job. He sure gets muddy, even though he isn't lying down.
Got a hilarious Maori phrase book today - useful family phrases. "Look, you've sicked up all over daddy!" "Have you farted?" "Did all that come out of you?" A real picture of family life.
And palimpsest is the unusual word I saw twice on Monday. Wierd ay?
