A trip and a fall

How has your day been?

Friday today and we are all back at the swimming pool.  My twelve year old as usual is the loudest and they have a new instructor.  A man this time trying to teach them.  It is nice to see the children working hard especially as they have both had a long day at school.

My day has consisted of work and then finishing late and rushing.  Today I have learnt not to run while carrying my ten year olds scooter.

A trip

So what happens when you run while carrying a scooter in your right hand and phone in the left?  What happens when you are running by a busy road?  Yes the scooter moved in front of me and I tripped and fell.  Lying flat on the floor the concrete hurt!  My phone went flying and if you don’t have a tempered glass screen on your phone, you need one!  My screen is broken but the phone is fine.  Sat here typing I’m glad the fall was not worse, just a painful trip!

Traffic

I always try to leave early for the pool and this evening my daughters friend is with us.   The girls were good tonight but my son decided to check out the school Christmas fayre before coming home.  Consequently we were all running a bit late.

Leaving home thirty minutes before their lesson starts in heavy traffic is not the best plan. Thankfully after taking a back road, we got here with ten minutes to spare.

Braces

Both my children are being seen by an orthodontist. My daughter on Tuesday received her first train track on her teeth.  Tuesday night she was touching it and somehow the wire came out.  She was sat with wire sticking out of her mouth and we panicked.  However, she somehow worked out to put the wire back in her mouth and feed if through a hole in a piece of metal at the back of her mouth.  We saw the orthodontist on Thursday who confirmed she is all okay.

Weekend

I like Friday and always look forward to the weekend.  However, this weekend consists of homework and possibly arguing with my twelve year old.  I’m hoping though for some quality time with them. Hoping to be smiling like the smile on  my car keys, in featured photo.

So how has your week been?  Hopefully no trip like mine!
