Every morning I stumble out into the hall bleary eyed and half awake to plait No2's hair. I tell myself to go back to sleep after that but tying her hair requires a lot of brain juice on my part and by the end of it I'm awake.

Awake, but not alert. So I do low level stuff like play with my phone or laundry or just staring out the window and notice the cars all piling up along the expressway.

But it's Friday today so hooray no sleep also can survive.

It is also meet the teachers session for no1 tonight and I'm strangely nervous about it.

"I feel like I'm going matchmaking!" I tell the Husband. "I need to make contacts with the other parents so I can know what's going on in class! What if they're a pack already?"

Is this helicopter parenting? Or just over anxious mum talking? The Husband just told me to relax and be sociable but there must be some delicate balance to break into the whatsapp chat group haha

The teachers have been more than helpful (via email) but seriously if you want to know what's happening in a school get into a whatsapp chat group. They may spam you with lots of messages and other random stuff but you will know the detailed inner workings of the system.

So yes, fingers crossed that I'll meet nice people who I can click with and have another person to ask when my daughter shrugs and says "dunno" to my questions 🤷🏻‍♀️

Watching toggle catch-up "designer in the house" and it's so interesting! But can 50k really do so much?? Or is it just for Reno and doesn't include furniture and electric stuff?

Hah ok it was 68k in the end. But quite worth it because they had a cool hidden door and lots of hacking! #dayrehomes

Not bad not bad the seating at the hall is by class so I'm surrounded by all the potential parent friends hahaha

Yay! Everyone is really nice! Mission accomplished I got added into the whatsapp chat group 😎😎
