172 days to go........the builders have marked out the boundaries of the house and started with the retaining walls at the back of the house where they have cut into the soil.........again, a little higher than expected......we will have to see when it's finished as to what we are going to do with the garden etc. Exciting!
Today was extremely stressful at work, some of the kids were off and noisy, I was hit and kicked today by two separate kids, all because they couldn't have what they wanted and I got in the way of it. I noticed that the staff in our room were not as responsive and rather quieter than usual, so it was a little tense in the room, not only from the kids behaviour and noise levels but from the thickness in the air that you could have cut with a knife.
By the end of the day I'd had enough, I was exhausted, my head was spinning with overload and it hurt, so I took some work to do at home and left earlier than usual. Before home I detoured to look at the progress of our house building and took some photos as you can see below, I then went home, had some headache tablets, cooked dinner, ate dinner and proceeded to do school work. It's been a long hard day and I craved chocolate and it so happens that Zoe has brought home a fundraiser box of 50 bars of chocolate. I am not normally a chocolate fanatic but sometimes I just need some (or rather want some, I don't think anyone actually needs it), especially tonight after such a long, miserable and stressful day, so I am grateful that we have some in the house. Tomorrow I will probably regret eating it, but for today it's done it's job.
