Dear Hubby

Today has been a good day. Made it out the door on time. It was raining again. Dropped Will off to Vacation care. No zoo trip for them today, off to the movies instead, so he got to see Nim's Island. Got Matt to daycare and got to work with minutes to spare.

I don't think I have mentioned previously that petrol is now up to 152.9 cents per litre. Not pretty. Gas is still 62.9.

Work was fun this morning, I had two kids booked in for games in the library, and 15 turned up, lol. Lucky for me that I was prepared for that possibility. We played Musical Chairs, Egg and Spoon races and Musical Statues. There were three boys there about 10yrs old that were a bit standoffish at first, but by the end were asking me to keep going! Maybe it was the easter eggs I was handing out! Nah, I think they were actually having fun.

In stark contrast, my board games afternoon session had 4 booked in and none turned up! I wasn't too worried and I went back out the back and powered through some more work instead.
Not doing anything tomorrow for holiday activities, I have a desk shift in the morning and will get on with organising the trivia comp we are having next month (plus promos for the knitting groups, bookclub stuff and whatever else I can get done before home time). Also in the morning I will have a clean up of the children's area as it got trashed today. Not impressed with the number of parents that sit back and allow their kids to treat the library like that.

I bought some retro lounges for the children's section in the library, I'll take a photo for you to see once I have the area set up. There is a double lounge and two singles and they are red with white trim. I hope the kids are kind to them.

Not sure if I mentioned that I had another playgroup/kindy call asking for my services (I could just do outreach/library visits every day with all the requests I have had). I am glad there is such a need out there, but I am only one person and not sure how I can fit everyone in. The other big library in the area no longer does outreach at all and offers a very limited service within the library itself. I will try to fit this one in, because I am a key figure/representative for early child literacy and encouraging parents to read to their children. Have to sell it to my boss and supervisor though, because they want to make sure I don't stretch myself too far.

Will has been a bit emotional this evening. I think he is missing Scott.

Hope you aren't overdoing it.
your wife
