My OperaI am Exhausted... And it's only Wednesday!

This morning started out okay. I took part in the 'Reading Rave' at Wynyard Primary School and had put together my kit to take along. I was reading "Cowboy Pirate" by Bruce Whatley. I managed to get to Wynyard in time, only to find out that there are two campuses and that I was at the wrong one!!Nevermind... I got back in my car and drove to the correct campus and had a great half-day there, reading the same story over a five or so times. It was a great practical experience and the kids seemed to enjoy the story and that was my aim.
When that was over, I decided to stop at Doctor's Rocks and give Mrs. a call to find out if she wanted to go into town. That's when she told me that MCMIL had been in a minor car accident, (if you call rolling your car on a highway "minor"), and that I would be better off coming home so we could figure out what to do. Poor MCMIL, she hates it when people fuss over her and hates not having her independence... The fact that apparently at least the front of her car is a write off means that she is going to be without it for quite some time.
She hates that idea entirely.I told her she could rely on us, but she says she doesn't want to have to. Well, that's just too bad, because we are going to take care of her until she is okay again. She is going to bruise up pretty bad and her hand looks pretty swollen and messed up. I think she might be putting on the brave face and all, but that she is really feeling quite sore and is too proud to say anything. That is why I want to be extra vigilant about it.
So, for now, I might be a little busy to post over the next few days, but I will try to in any case. MCMCIL blames herself for the accident; apparently she swerved to avoid hitting some critter crossing the highway. I don't mean to be cruel, but if it's smaller than a horse or
, it's going under my wheels, (unless it's a human being). My advice, don't swerve for small animals, it could lead to your premature or hospitalisation.Ciao.
PS: Still haven't heard about Prac Placement... I am trying not to think about it. Uni is driving me crazy at the moment, but there is nothing I can do about it except enjoy my holidays...
