Sunday here and late afternoon. Genevieve came home this morning with an escalating temperature which saw me texting the soccer coach and another mum , all the player id numbers for the Match Card and sending my excuses for my and Geni’s absence and sending Geni straight to bed.

NOT that old chestnut about the number of dollars you might save eliminating things like expressos, but a new acronym standing for

Four 14 year olds in one room..kerthump…giggle, crash…snort giggle…..
I wait. More giggles.
Downstairs three 13 year olds are lying in the dark after playing twister and snap also laughing; it seems the more tired and overwrought they get the louder and more manic….
AJ was asleep in Leonnie’s bed and I knew I would be up again [...]
