I am going insane

I have spent all weekend writing lesson plans and doing paperwork for the new responsibilities I am taking on as the day after the inspection I have a day-long meeting with the LEA inspector/advisor for mathematics whose ASD-type qualities combined with genius with mathematics apparently make her very very intense and slow to comprehend that mere mortals like I don't actually know a lot of the high-falutin' maths stuff.

I have also spent much of the weekend being driven slowly up the wall by three adorable but increasingly hyper French boys who sleep little, make large quantities of noise (and farting sounds courtesy of some silly putty they purchased at the joke shop!), are eating far too many sweets and far too little food, and are generally relaxing far too much! Good job they're so lovely or I think I might lock the door and let them suffocate themselves with the aerosol deodorant they are so fond of spraying right, left and centre. AGGGGGGGGGHHHH! They don't get in until 10pm and they're so lively, and all wanting hot chocolate and time to play when all I want to do is crawl off to bed ready for the early start next day.

AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

And my lovely last little gerbil is slowly dying. :( (Mousie the Gerbil, not Pavlova the hamsters)

Counting the days to the summer holidays? Me? Surely not.
