New words in our house to describe my avoidance of work:
1. Pronapstinate - having a nap instead of working.
2. Prosnackstinate - hunting for food instead of working.
3. Probathstinate - having a bath instead of working.
Currently attempting number 1. Might have a 3 later.

It's a travesty.

The worst bit about teaching is the admin. So much admin every week. There are not enough hours in a day to complete it all. Especially when you're neuro-spicy 🙄

Tonight in #DnD I adopted a donkey called Glue. He's telepathic. He's Minque's new best friend.

Happy New Year! We spent our evening solving crime, drinking wine and slaughtering each other at Scrabble. Misty helped @megalatron.bsky.social win one.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."
‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”
So a napkin is a little tablecloth.
10/10, no notes.

My 10yo melts me sometimes. We were having a conversation about Christmas and he stopped mid-sentence to say "your hair looks lovely today. Have you dyed it? It's a really nice colour!"
He's either an absolute sweetheart or angling for extra presents 🎁 😂

Watching #AHS Cult and my cat keeps slow blinking at Sarah Paulson whenever she comes on screen. As soon as she's gone - its back to grooming.
She must be a big fan 😂

Came home at about 8pm and my 10yo asked "can I stay up for a bit, as a treat? We can sit and read together with just the Christmas lights on. I'll read my book and you read yours!"
I am always happy to oblige for that kind of activity!

Husband is out, child is at his grand parents. I came home to the cat yelling at me.
I can do anything I want this evening but all I'm going to do is snuggle up on the sofa and read my book.
Uninterrupted. (Except for the cat's yelling)
Bliss.

Off to #MCMComicCon today. First time going and I'm excited and anxious (crowds).
I get to see James McAvoy in the flesh. I might melt.

My 10yo has showered, picked a shirt and chino combo (very smart), sprayed body spray "I gotta smell good" and insisted I put hair spray on his hair after he styled it to keep it looking "really good".
Christmas school discos are serious business.

I had a break for a few (2) days because I couldn't choose which new book to start.
But my husband chose this one for me so it's only right I give it a read.
It better be good or I'm divorcing him.

So... book 3.5 didn't take long. It was a lovely pallet cleanser after the heaviness of book 3.
Now onto book 4... I'm not sure I'm ready for the series to end (for now).

I didn't discover him until later on when I had my son (except for We're Going on a Bear Hunt).
However, his poems are a staple in my classroom :)
