Cat-astrophes

Here is a little present from one of my 'cherubs'. She actually attacked another teacher today and this was only 'some' of the damage. This is immediate bruising mind you, so I'd hate to see what it will look like tomorrow.

I say 'present' because I had to then spend an hour in meetings and a further three hours in paperwork because of it.

Another little 'cherub' is the cause of police presence in our school (Did I mention that I teach 6 year olds???). Thankfully I didn't have to do any of the paperwork on that one - because of the police inclusion it goes straight to the principal. Obviously I can't go into details, or in vague details. Let's just say she is in a little bit of big trouble.

All in all it has been an eventful birthday. One thing I *was* going to mention was the psychology of the rsvp. I have discovered that if you don't specify that you want an rsvp by a particular date, the only time people do contact you is if they cannot make it.

For this reason I have found myself cringing at emails and smses today because I'm scared it is going to start with 'sorry, but....'.

I wish I could list some of the excuses too.......two in particular make me glad I'm a confident-enough gal. Otherwise I'd probably end up with a bit of a complex! They were good for a laugh though.
