Been busy today. Work was quiet yet hectic at the same time. I got a load of kids to finish their essays which was an accomplishment because sometimes these things take forever. Hopefully they'll all manage to finish their standard grade and access 3 folios by the time I go on maternity leave (and a standard grade folio in 4 months is no mean feat, these kids are working their arses off for me). Also seem to have sorted out a couple of study days for next week. The depute seems to think it'll be ok, despite the fact that we have HMI in on the Friday. Everything I was asked to do for the visit I have done, bar my marking which will be cleared this week. Just need to clear it with the head and I'm good to go for two whole days in Glasgow Uni library. Had a late night at school trying to sort out my paperwork. Every time I sit down to tackle the paperwork side of things I realise I'm further ahead and a lot more organised than I previously thought.

Came home, after collecting the Devin. I'm still worried about him. He has an accident at nursery, which is unheard of these days, and then again at home. Something is on his mind and he's definitely stroppier and more attention seeking than usual. I feel a little helpless, like there is actually nothing I can do for him because this is something he has to sort out with his dad. I can't get involved. I know if I step back eventually the two of them will find their relationship, but it's so hard seeing my boy so upset and hurting so much. Devin and I watched some CBeebies together before dinner. I also managed to clear some of the junk off the living room floor, do a load of washing, make Dev's dinner, do the washing up and prepare the meat and veg for our dinner. Mo made dinner for the first time in ages (we've been living on baked potatoes and soup for ages) and it was grand...lemon chicken, before I began being productive again. I've created a whole discursive writing unit this evening.

Have been awake since 3.20am, got out of bed at 3.40am after realising that there wasn't a hope in hells chance I was getting back to sleep. Have since watched 28 Days Later and Cocktail. Devin is now up and finishing his breakfast off. Think I'm just going to pack a bag, head off into the world and see where the day takes the two of us.
