A better day

Laura seems much better today. I slept in with her last night and put her seizure monitor on and all was fine, except I had rather an uncomfortable night - in future I need to remember to use two futons not one!

So this morning I stayed at home with Laura and then Mick took over at lunch time so I could get into work for a meeting with the Head and then staff meeting after school. The kids were a bit upset to see me in school but not have me in the class but they always struggle with that. Tomorrow will be an even bigger struggle as there is a supply teacher for me and then the three candidates for the new job (my job share partner) are going to teach a short lesson in the morning. The poor kids will really not know what is going on.

Anyway Laura should be fine for school tomorrow. She has had a normal nappy this morning and no seizures, although she is a bit jumpy still.

On Wednesday we're going to go round and see the new house. We got rather a surprise today to hear (via someone in the pub!) that the owner of number 5 has submitted plans for two new houses in their back garden. This house borders onto ours but is quite a long way set back beyond the side of ours and so the only impact seems to be that their access drive will run along the border. Again I don't think it's a huge deal as our extension won't reach that far but all the same we really need to go and take a look. Mick finds it difficult visualising things from plans so definitely needs to see things for hiomself. Our sellers say they didn't know she'd submitted plans although had an incling she would do as she is very ill with leukaemia and cannot manage her huge garden which is probably 1/2 acre and plus they'd seen lots of architect-like people looking round over the past month or so. Anyway we'll see how it looks on Wednesday when we go round.
