COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I do enjoy it. I came back from the training last night very frustrated by others on my Board of Governors who really don’t “get it”.

I have two roles currently, one at school level and one at Trust level (the Trust is responsible for a group of schools) and I am trying to drop one of these roles. The Trust wants me to do the Trust role. The school board should be capable of managing without me, but seems to be going backwards in their understanding at the moment.... and resent me for trying to lighten my load.

I have given the school board 10 years service and my Trust role means I’ll still have a hand in the school. I love that school and I do what I do because I believe in trying to give the kids at it the best possible life outcomes and this is my way of helping. They’ll cope, they’ll get used to the change, but right now I’m a bit grumpy with my fellow governors!

Shame. Sounds like a difficult one.

Good morning, Linda!
I know you care about this school and have invested a great deal of yourself into it and that you care for the children and their futures too.
But you can't be personally responsible for everything for ever. And it's horrible they resent you after all this time for trying to do a bit less.
Sometimes, it's best to make a clean break of it and just work with the Trust in the future, though i understand it can be hard to let go after 10 years.
I'm sure you're doing what's right in the current situation, though.

Here here.

Good morning, Roommates!

[CarolM]

Thoughts for Jacques again!
Come on, Jacques!

[CarolM]

Oops. You said you were better?

Lol. You too.

Gir to read this when home and connected to internet. Busy doing school run then off to shops to get shorts for youngest. He is out growing all his clothes.

Get shorts? Hey, it’s February! Oh, it’s February... ‍ It’s so easy to forget sometimes that you’re in the Southern Hemisphere. Good luck with all the chores.

Going to say "good night," Roomies. I didn't sleep at all well last night due to being wound up about Jacques and some family problems one of my sisters is going through.
So it's an early night for me.
hugs to all.

All will turn well in the end with Jaques, I am sure.

 

[Bee62]

Probably has a gut full of parasites, but I am not inclined to intervene

In that case it is no good idea to let this tort brumate.

 

[Bee62]

Good morning, Roommates!
Have a Fantastic Friday!

You too !

 

[Bee62]

Thoughts for Jacques again!

I am thinking of her too.

Thank you Sabine. She ate this morning so she seems to have gotten over her shock. Happy Mommy.[emoji1]

Happy tort = Happy mommy. I is sooooo easy ... LOL GOOD MORNING Carol.

 

[Bee62]

That makes me want to yawn.

Yawn ? It makes me want to sleep !
I can sleep everywhere, on a chair, in front of the computer, on the sofa, of course in my bed, but the easiest way for me to fall asleep in a few minutes is to read a book in the evening ....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Bee62]

Aaàaaahhhhhhh. So sweet.

Cats had been invented to make us always say: Ahhhhhhhh. So sweet.

 

[Bee62]

Not for me. But a big mug of coffee I`ll never reject.
