Good morning all,
 
 I hope you are all having a good day.  Today is a public holiday here so there was no early school run this morning (schools here start at 7:40 am!) and i am planning on having a relaxing day.  Probably wont end up like that but at least i can try! 
 
Yesterday was busy, dropped little man at school 7:40 am (we have to go by car, its too far), back home, back to school 10:20 for kid/parent presentation about our home country, back home, back to school to pick up little man at home time, back home, back to school at night for little man's first school disco! Back home, pick up Daddy cos we were using the car,  back home................ shattered! lol
