Short | But I Smile Anyway...

Linda’s SoCS prompt this week:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “short.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

My fuse was way too short yesterday.

Considering I have been at home for 2 weeks, I should be pretty relaxed, shouldn’t I?

And given the fact that my Hubby Dearest was picking up my new car too, that should have injected an airy and light bounce in my step, shouldn’t it?

But no, I ended up with a headache that threatened me from 3 pm, and it just grew and grew. I tried to fight it, but it was beating me, And it meant that I was in no frame of mind to deal with kids and their moodiness.

Everything Lil Man did was designed to frustrate, and usually, I can deal with it, but today, I just found myself taking the bait, and getting angry.

Hubby arrived with the car and we went for a spin, which was great, but Lil Man was just doing silly things, winding his sister up and all sorts, which got me even more agitated!

Still, no matter about my short fuse, lit by a short guy. My anger only lasts a short while!

I got a new car, yay!!!!!

His first game!!

I have one incredibly excited Lil Man on my hands!
Yesterday, after school, he came running into my classroom.
“Mummy, mummy, look!” waving a piece of paper in my face.
I looked, and here was his first invitation to play for the school in his first ever football match!
This really is BIG news for him!!
He’s been in training with the school football club, and basketball club, and never been chosen, and he also trains with a local team, where he has been more or less promised a place in the squad next time, but not yet…
And, yes I know I’m his mum, but you know, he really is quite good. People always underestimate him as he is quite small in stature compared to the others his age, yet even they are pleasantly surprised when they see him in action, and recently, this has been getting him down.
So down, in fact, that at Karate on Tuesday, he said he wanted to quit school football, “cos no one thinks I’m good enough anyway…”
So this piece of paper couldn’t have come at a better time!
Here’s hoping his finger is better so he can play, and wow the school, and his peers, too!
Failing that, he’ll ALWAYS wow me!
