What a day!

I can't believe my boys they were at it again this morning! But why should today be any different to any other day?? I am so tired of their fighting, swearing and general carrying on!!

After a rather slow and reasonable relaxing morning I was flat out at the school this afternoon. Seeing it's Friday I go in every week to do the weekly school newsletter, update the school website and work in the library. This weeks newsletter was an extra long one this week and took me much longer then I anticipated, almost a complete hour, which didn't leave me much time for anything else once I had updated the website. I have a stack of library books will still need processing and I just ran out of time. Looks like I might need to go in one day early next week in order to finish them.

I can't believe it .. the school wants MORE money. The little dude wants to go on camp. That's not a bad idea for him to go on it either. It will give him a much needed break from his big brother. A break which I believe he deserves. That costs $110 but since I have already paid a deposit of $20 that doesn't sound so bad anymore. However there is an excursion coming up on the 7 or 11th I can't remember which, it's in the newsletter. This time the whole school will be going to Inverloch (visitvictoria.com) to the rock pools there. It's a kind of follow up excursion to the Melbourne one they went on last year when both boys got to go to the Aquarium. I swear that sometimes the school forgets that some families are on a very limited income and that they have a tight budget that only stretches so far!! I guess I need to talk to Ian (the principal) and see what kind of payment options I have. I know that I could probably use the conveyance allowance that I will be getting later this term to pay for it. That's always an alternative I guess.

The boys have been asking about another family night. We haven't done one for nearly two weeks so we should really do one either tonight or tomorrow night depending on how we feel I guess.

Oh well I suppose I had better get off this thing and do something useful.
