I find scrapbooking these photos really difficult. This is the second one I have done in a few weeks. In actual fact, they aren't that difficult at all............. I am really happy that I have started to scrapbook a little more now, seems I have the head space again. I even spent yesterday browsing the net for layout ideas..............it was like the old days of when I first started scrapbooking.........

I love living in this wonderful place. I think it's fantastic that we can go to the beach, even in the winter time. The kids just love the beach, the sand, the water, the chips afterwards..........

News

Last night my good friend told me that she was pregnant. I was quite shocked at my own reaction to her news. I felt physically ill in the stomach!!! It was like someone had just told me that I was pregnant. I was just totally gobsmacked……….not only at the news but at my reaction to it. It didn’t last long, then all the other emotions rushed to me. I was happy for her, uncertain for her, concerned for her and excited for her. I just wanted to look after her………. She is a great mother, and I know her and her lovely husband have more than enough love to share around, the child will be lucky and blessed indeed to have such wonderful parents. I am actually looking forward to sharing this time with her. I guess it’s my way of vicariously enjoying another pregnancy without all the drama. Although, she will have health dramas of her own, so I am going to make sure I can be there to help her………..

The next few months are going to be interesting indeed.

I made it.

Well, I made it. I survived the whole term and came out the other side smiling. My kids survived too. It was a challenging time, funny that often the weekends were the hardest, trying so hard to keep on top of everything, and often thinking that I was losing that battle.

I am working some more next term. Six days per fortnight for the first month and then probably four per fortnight after that. I am really looking forward to it, and am glad that I am looked upon as someone worthwhile to have in the school. I am learning so much all the time, I love being there.

When my return was announced at parade in the last week, I was dismayed and left with a wonderful feeling inside, seeing how happy the kids were that I was coming back. A very heartening feeling, after the rocky start that we had.
I have lots to look forward to.

At the moment I am trying to cope with the fact that there's no income for another three weeks...............aaaccccckkkkk. I have no money left, and yet I still have direct deposits to cover......... Rock on tax time, that will be very handy indeed......

I need to blog more, gosh I am slack aren't I?

I have taken this a little on the dark side, but I still really like it. The moment was so quick, that before I realized I should have increased my exposure, the moment was gone. It's not often you see the red sky with the dark clouds......
