It must be a month or so since my last blog… shocking I know but teaching little people will do that to you! You tend to forget how little they know and take for granted small things like all of them walking in a line and not wandering off. I’ve lost a soul or two at times because they have taken a wrong turn… if you have ever seen our school you will realise it is a miniature version of Hogwarts… lots of staircases and twists and turns! I must admit that I saw the light towards the end of last week and that gives me hope. Sometimes I wonder why I do this… and then try to imagine myself doing something else and that doesn’t work either! It’s a calling.. cliche yes but it HAS to be.. how else would you explain it?! Certainly not in for the money.. or cool perks like holidays for winning sales teams.. or massive bonuses… I guess what warms my heart is when it all falls into place and a tiny-tot who has been struggling suddenly ‘gets it’. Thank-you’s from parents don’t hurt either…

On a positive note I am finally, legally, allowed to drive on the roads! After many, many years of sweat and (many, many) tears I got my drivers licence. It stands out as one of the most awful things I have ever had to endure! Not helped in the least by the bitch of an examiner I had! Sorry, no other word for her.. she was just plain horrible! The fact that I passed is nothing short of miraculous because with the way she went on at me I thought I had failed 10 minutes into the test! All I can say is thank god I never have to do that again! Now the hunt for a car commences… yay….

And lastly… is it just me or do babies seem to be EVERYWHERE right now?? In the last week 2 friends gave birth with ountless more due in the coming months. Guess I am just at that age… first you attend 21st’s every weekend… then it’s engagement parties… weddings and well now we are in the baby stage. I wonder what percentage of my friends are (a) single (b) in a relationship (c) married and not trying for kids (d) married and trying/ pregnant/ have kids… might make for some interesting math LOL!

Sigh 20:00 already… gym bag time… yes we are doing the gym in the morning stint – week 4 now. Still going thanks to Jonathan getting out of bed in the morning. When the alarm goes off I am very happy to just turn over and shut my eyes even though I know I enjoy gym when I am there… the lure of more sleep is just too great! Apparently getting into your gym clothes is half the battle because it then feels inevitable, in fact I read that (I think it was) Kim Kardashian sleeps in her gym clothes! I wouldn’t go that far but I understand the reasoning behind it…

Okay, as I said, gym bag time… TTFN!
