Stress relief

Elizabeth has a bad head cold, or at least, a very drippy one. As a result, no one in our house is getting a lot of sleep at the moment. (It's amazing how sick child usually means less sleep for the parents, isn't it?)

Her vocabulary is increasing almost daily. Over the weekend, she added "chaussure" (shoe), "trou" (hole - specifically, the unmended bit in her sleeper)and "nounours" (teddy bear). All in French, which was nice. I'm pretty sure she also knows "shoe", but doesn't use it around me, which shows a high degree of intelligence in my admittedly biased opinion.

Whenever I'm tempted to use words that could get me fired if my students told their parents about them, to describe said students, I think about her, and remember that having a job is more important the the actual work I'm doing.

When Pyat gets home, some time in the next twenty minutes, I'm going to work out and get rid of the rest of my job stress that way.
