Yesterday was the 1st day I was not at home to greet the kids when they got back from school... I rang them at 5pm, they finish school at 3.05pm and were walking home via a play at the park, they were not back! Dave arrived home at 5.05, they were not home, he drove to the park - no kids there, on driving home, they were seen walking to the front door.. 5.20pm!
They did not read the note I left, nor ate the flapjacks I made! I also asked for them to call me when they got home, but having not read the note, they didn't.
On the upside, they were safe, had entertained themselves, they did not lose their house keys, they did not plonk in front of the TV all evening. The kitchen did not look like a bomb had hit it... this to me is a big plus.
Mitch cooked his pizza, then went to table tennis coaching with Dave. So, all's well that ends well.
I had finished work early, came home and M and D were still out. I called out to Jasmine, no reply.... the fans were on full blast, the balcony french door was open, as was the insect screen! The TV was on, but cable not, so blank screen, where was everyone???
Dave and M were still at table tennis, Jas was in her room, indisposed....
Points to remember
Make sure Mitch has his phone and get him to text me when he gets home.
Make sure they have their keys
Tell them where I will leave them messages
Write out instructions for making meals if necessary
We'll see what happens today.
Mitch will be home on his own when he gets back from school today as Jasmine is going on a trip with one of her friends for 2 nights. She is missing school tomorrow, well, only 3 hours of school. They finish at 11.30 tomorrow, and their summer hols begins, all 10.5 weeks of it!
