This morning I wake up with a head cold,
Not as bad as a full body cold, or flu,
but earache, headache throat ache,
and a nose thats like a drippy tap,
hardly a sight to behold,
but as I am back in on the day 1 of work roster
I thank the inventors of cold and flu tablets,
these mean, I can present a reasonable face to the outside world.

Strepsils they too are a bonus to the throat,
Im liking the intensive ones,
Im not sure my co workers agree,
they gave me back my voice!

Anyway snotting and blowing aside,
I make it through my working day, come home and face the bad mood son,
he is doing exams at the moment, and
they are quite heavy duty,
Its weird to see him stressed because usually he isnt
he kinda like shrugs everything off,
but this week has taken its toll on him.

He has been up at 6am most mornings and studying late into the night,
I have tried to tell him, ease up for a while,
take some breaks,
but what do I know right!

Imagine he even has an exam on saturday morning,
now I think that is a bit much meslef,
I thought these college days were monday to friday, I think he did too.
He is not impressed as he reckons he should have got the weekend to study.

In my day, hah another getting old mama statement,
anyway in my day it was quoted to me many times,
If you dont know it now, you've left it too late,
guess what,
I didnt go there with sunshine of my life.

I'm making the proper non committal noises, and telling him to hang in there,
I think that pees him off also, but what the heck, I'm keeping him fed and watered
and leaving him to it.

Roll on midterm.
