Ok I recognize defeat when I see it - storytime today is a total bust. Between kids that couldn't seem to understand the concept of cleaning up, a kid that really needs a nap so is screaming if you look at her but no way is my afternoon being disrupted too, telephone ringing, doorbell ringing and now an earthquake that sent the kids scrambling to the windows to "find the big truck" which of course wasn't there.
So I have a cup of tea and they are watching tv and we will try again later maybe.
