The Hampster

Yoday had not been to bad a day untill i got to Steph's school to pick her up. She ran towards me face flushed with exitement and it went like this.

Steph... Mum, mum, mum,
Me... Yes Steph
Steph.... You have to come and see my teacher now !!!!!!!
Me..... (thinking oh god what has she done wrong now) ok why, have i got to see your teacher.
Steph..... It's parent 's evening tonight , and you have to come now...
Me ...I haven't got your slip back from your teacher yet.
Steph ... Yes you have it's in my school tray.
Me ...(Thinking yeh right i'm psyhcic now am i)Ok i'm just coming.
Steph... (Running back into school shouting back at me)Oh yes and i'm bringing the hamster home tonight.
Me ( now remembering i got a letter home last week saying the kids had a class hampster and they would be allowed to bring it home in turns for the weekend..
Me.. Steph hold on come here NOW.
Steph .. ( all in one breath)MUUUUUUM you said i could and it's my turn tonight.
Me ( great. I get the weekend of 4days as there is no school tommorow and also Monday. Teacher training.

So the Hampster has begrugingly come home with us tonight for 4 days. The dogs have seen it and Bruno has taken a great liking to the fact that there is a small rodent upstairs and is now determined to find some way of getting up there. Luckily i have a dog gate at the bottom. The only trouble is a cetain daughter has left it open so far 3 times in a couple of hours.
Wish me luck and hopefully i shall still have a Hampster to give back to her school on Tuesday....
