Ron’s prompt… check it out here.
The words Class & Firm…
Dealer
A risky business
Dealing with ‘quality‘ goods
Try not to get caught

What my class requires
A firm hand (and strait jackets!)
For my sanity!

A selection of sayings and quotes to celebrate those amazing women out there,Moyer mothers. We are celebrating Mother’s Day in the UK today!
The older I grow, the more I raise that my mother is the best best friend that I ever had.
A mother us she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.
Always love your mother because you will nevertheless get another.
Of all the gifts that life has to offer, a loving mother is the greatest of them all.
Life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother.
There’s no way to be a perfect mother… But a million ways to be a good one.
Happy Mother’s Day to those that are celebrating!!!!
Happy Sunday Peeps !!

A little scribble in response to a prompt from Sue…
I didn’t plan it, you know, getting lost.
It was all her fault, that Little Bo Peep.
She made herself out to be so innocent. So innocent that someone even wrote a rhyme about her, and me!
And guess who ended up looking like the trouble maker? Me, that’s who!
But do you want to know the truth?
She was so busy texting, and tweeting, taking selfies and posting them on Instagram, updating her statuses all over social media, that she locked me out of our meadow. I wandered for hours, until I found a gap in the hedge!

Hugh has been busy with his photo challenge and announced this week’s prompt here.
The prompt word – UNDER.
Of course, there are times when prompts flummox me, but yesterday as soon as I read the word, one individual came to mind. Sonu Singh!
Sonu Singh!
My feline family member is constant getting under/over/inside places he is not meant to, and I was sure I had a photo to illustrate this prompt perfectly…
The Feline Sentry
Feline eyes watching
Take a step at your peril
Sonu Singh on duty!

Can you tell from my Bitmoji’s what I am about to announce?
Firstly, thanks to you all for the good wishes/candles/prayers.
I spent part of this morning in tears at school, talking to colleagues, as I was so stressed, and worried about the outcome of the Secondary School admissions process.
Then I tried my hardest to forget until at least 4 pm as that was when the emails were rolling out…
So after despatching me afternoon crazies, It was around 3.50 pm, I thought i would check my mail.. obviously nothing was going to be there yet… but I saw an email from the Admissions team.
EEK!!!!
They were early!
I actually had to make my self sit down before opening the message as I was shaking.
Then I read it, and read it again. I closed it and then opened it again, and read it. I even got my colleague to read it to confirm.
HE GOT INTO HIS FIRST CHOICE SCHOOL!
The relief I felt was palpable! I nearly fainted!
Then obviously I had to go and find the Lil Man in question. His teacher, who knew how stressed I was, met me on my way, and gave me a great big hug!
Lil Man, well, I got him to read the message himself, and he literally jumped in the air and cried “YES!!!!”
It is a weight off our shoulders. I have told him that now he knows his destination for next year, he should be relieved, and that he must just try his hardest at school, which we know he already does, and just do his best. No more negativity, just positive vibes!
Our selection process works on many criteria, that the Local Authority set, and they include Children in care, special needs pupils, siblings, and distance, and if you have applied for a faith school, that is also something that gets taken into account.
So I was so happy that he got in, as I was aware that the school in question was oversubscribed, and that even though we were close, there were man children closer…
But ironically enough, I already know of 2 children who live closer who didn’t get in…
God, you were really looking down on us, and as I said before, all your thoughts and prayers must have played a part too!
