Survivor.

So...I survived three days in the realm of the Squirrel Killer.I had been dreading the morning when the Fathers were coming in as a celebration for Father's day on Sunday but in the end it all went OK. We had a few grandparents too and a  few Mums as stand ins. The morning ended with the whole school attending a Sausage Sizzle.Of course after having all these visitors early in the day it was hard to get everyone back on track. It was strange how some children who I have never had trouble with before suddenly became unhelpful and stubborn. There was a huge fall out over lunch between two girls which took awhile to sort and I felt like the whole day I was walking on eggshells trying to keep everyone happy and busy.I was worn out at the end of the school day and thoroughly relieved when the bell went. They all disappeared out of the door and I started to tidy up...and then one of the girls, who had been an utter pain all day, came back in. She gave me a hug and said,"Thank you for being my dad today," and off she went.
