I am feeling this colour today, it is bright and lovely because today is officially the happiest day of the year ... and guess what I have had the best day for ages. It has been a day full of simple pleasures.
At work today my boys had a lunch together from the canteen at school, that may not sound much but for a bunch of autistic kids with a range of difficulties as wide as the widest thing you could imagine, then that is no mean feat!! It brought a tear to my eye although not to theirs ... they don't really do emotion!
Anyway that was one lovely thing.
Then in the very next lesson my (secret favourite) student went to a changed lesson in a different room about the wrong topic with a strange teacher, a tree frog, a giant snail, and a tarantula!! Then... (I realise that I am much more excited by this than is necessary but if you were there you would have been too...well maybe not!). The same student took his fingers out of his ears (thats where he usually keeps them.. really) and stroked a snake, a cockroach and a millipede called Milly!! That is quite a day at work believe me.
When I got home my lovely day got even lovelier, I got home and Zoe (my favourite daughter) had cleaned the house so I didn't have to. Kaine spoke to me without asking "whats for tea?" and the most strangest event of all... Colin came home from work early and brought me flowers and Zoe flowers.... I'm not even joking!
The whole happy families game carried on with Pizza Express for tea.
Evnets have taken a little bit of a nose dive however. The big kids ate their pizza and left without washing up and my newly reformed husband has fallen asleep in his usual Friday night ritual - hey ho!!
