It’s oh so quiet

Ady decided to take both children to work with him this morning to be sure of being back for Badgers later. Ady taking one or both children off was always part of the MasterPlan moving forward. We like the idea that they get a good idea of what our jobs involve (and they both reckon they can already do mine, knowing how to discharge and issue books with the beeping trigger gun although putting books back on shelves seems to be beyond them at home so I’m not sure they’re ready to move up to doing that professionally just yet 😉 ), hopefully see us getting something out of what we both do aside from just payment and of course out there in the Big Wide World there are Educational Opportunities Around Every Corner. Particularly in Ady’s which involves lots of driving, SatNav assistance, geography, different cultures (he drives through London a lot, it’s very different to looking out of car windows in Sussex looking out of them in London). The places Ady drives to and the reasons for driving there are pretty varied too with Health & Safety, QVC Superstardom, Merchandising, Selling and Going Round To Kick Some Retail Ass all up there on his job spec in pretty equal measures.

So they were off, left at 8am, which left me in an empty house with a whole 45 minutes before I need to leave for work. So I’ve come here to blog, to ward off crazy notions of dreadful things that might happen to wipe out my whole family when they are off somewhere without me, I’ve chatted to the chickens a bit, drunk some tea and now I think I’ll head off to work, where I will arrive a good ten minutes earlier than normal – and therefore a good five minutes before I am even supposed to be there (I always scramble in at the last minute, sitting in a staff room before I have to be at work seems mental when I could be home a few minutes longer waving to children out of windows or kissing them goodbye one last time). It seems very odd not to be pulling a clinging child off my leg or answer last minute requests for cereal or be taking a front door key off my keyring to give someone, or, or something so I’m just going to do that here instead if you don’t mind. See you all later, have a good morning, be good, love you, bye!
