lost!!

yesterday was my youngest son's first day at senior school. throughout the day I wondered how he was getting on, he has gone to a different school to most of his junior school friends. The school he goes to now is only a few minutes walk from our house and his older brothers all went there. It is not top of the local league table but it is a fairly good school and my other son's have got on well there. I had just
stopped at the gym on my way home from work. when #4 son rang me, he has lost his school blazer!!. he remembers wearing it home from school but has lost it now. Doh... then it must be in the house silly. A few minutes later he calls to say he has found it amongst his brother #3's things. Phew I can't afford to buy him a new one after just one day.

Later in the evening after I had returned to the house after my date for the evening had had to cry off due to a crisis. I got a phone call from #1 son. He came out of work at 8pm his car was not where he had left it at 8am. So now I had my own family crisis, good thing I hadn't gone out drinking as I had to drive to the city to get him. he went to the police station who cofirmed what we had guessed. His car had been taken away by the council as he had been rather foolish. He had ignored all my lectures about getting his car taxed. He had bought it at the end of july and not received the tax form yet. he has now spoken to the council and should be able to get it back on thursday when he has a day off work. I am hoping that he has now realised how important it is to pay his bills first and socialise after, not the otherway around.

give me strength!!! at least #2 and #3 didn't lose anything.
