How did you know?

Thank you to my nearest and dearest who sent me messages of comfort after Tuesday night's post. As one friend chuckled: "We always know when you are going through tough times because that's when we start getting lots of blog posts in our inbox!"  Too true! My safe space to get it out!

I have to do an update on the maths test. I held it together on Wednesday morning, took Luke to his early lesson, came home to find Adam heroically revising a few maths concepts. Got a call from Adam after dropping Jess at school to tell me about the conversation they had in the car on the way in. More or less the following...

Adam: "So Jess, good luck for your maths test today."

Jessica: "HOW did YOU know I had a maths test today? (peeved)"

Adam: "Mom told me."

Jessica: "But I didn't tell Mom."

Adam: "Why?"

Jessica: "Cos I didn't want her to know. How did she find out?!" (unimpressed look)

Adam: "She's Mom. She always knows."

Me: Grin! If only she knew that I didn't actually know about that one...

Jessica got 80% for the test - her teacher was so thrilled that at least one kid in the class was listening as apparently the marks were a bit dismal. Whew. Sigh of relief. This parenting thing is aging me!

(All those who prayed for me and Jessica - thank you from the bottom of my heart! And thank you God for somehow bringing all those maths concepts back to mind.)
