stressful fire alarms

 Evening


I slept well but god did I NEED more sleep -_______- just need a long long sleep

but we got up and got ready for school


We got to school and saw chris and the head care taker in the reception area - odd

they told us "the fire alarm has been going off since 7am we are waiting for repairs"

so down our end of the school the fire alarm was stuck on.....a fire alarm that goes in to the danger unsafe section of decibel readings.

It was so loud in science you had to shout. I last 2mins before I decided I was much too stressed out for this so I left Jack and Lizzi and came back to reception as the alarm wasnt on in that part of the school. I was stressed out. This was not how I wanted to start my day.

Staff we stressed, anxious, didnt know what to do as it was 8am and kids start coming in at 8:30am

what do you do?

the head teacher rocked up at 8:10am

and the care taker gave him the run down and a decision needed to be made but he said to keep the kids in the hall and canteen until the engineer came

the engineer said it could be up to 4 hours

I didnt know when it was gonna end

I was sat in an uncomfortable seat which made me ache and stress was making me ache

terrible

jack told me to go and work from home but I didnt want to leave him with all this

but when it got to 9am - so the alarm had been on 2 hours straight - giving everyone banging headaches, the engineer said he was 15mins away

by 9:30am the alarm had been turned off and classes went ahead

but care taker told us the alarms still arent functioning as normal so if they were triggered they would go off for hours again. He said science and DT were banned from practicals today and tomorrow. Which is fair enough as we could screw it up for the whole of the school if an experiment gets to hot or something. Head of science didnt seem to see an issue and wanted pracs to go ahead as usual. Jack said no. I was so stressed out.

I wanted to cry in a corner, go home and sleep, run away

it was just awful. I couldnt cope

I had a cup of tea and a biscuit then went to my lesson which was hard going as luke was in his eliment talking about leaves. It ended up being a whole hour of talking and we didnt do the practical! he was enjoying himself too much XD i was struggling tho. I was so tired and drained and achy


The rest of the day was a real struggle. The computer system went down too. So we couldnt use the computers or printers. It was one thing after another. I had had enough. I was reaching breaking point. I couldnt take anymore noise ether


i got home, got dressed and went to bed for an hour

luckily it was just pizza for jack and leftover chicken for me which i put in a wrap. so he did the pizza and I did the wrap and had my cup of tea with it - i wasnt gonna miss out on that!

i was too exhausted to exercise so I didnt tonight

I had a bath, my brother rang. Hes working from home tomorrow so wanted to borrow my desk. I told him that I dont think I am going in tomorrow. I have nothing more to give after today. jack is fine with it. My brother is coming over 8:45am to 5pm and hes using my desk but its big enough for both of us to work at should we need to. 

so I will have company tomorrow at least as it can feel a long day by yourself.

I will miss my jack. When he comes home he will be playing online til late too

gotta get up at 6am with him to have breakfast with him and he is sorting out his own transport

I am sure I will pass the day somehow

so thats tomorrow really

bet mummy will come see me at some point too


just cant believe today.
