Mind Reading

Many people think that if their loved one truly loved them whey would know how they felt and what they needed.
This is because if they really, really, really loved us they would do anything for us.
I think the if we feel displeasure or distress, the person who professes to love me should realise my unhappiness and FIX IT!!!!!!!!!
Why is that so bloody hard????

Be careful what you wish for.


I have had some time off recently du to flu, which after having two cases of swine flu in my classroom, gave me some anxiety. I am not a piggy, it was just another sort of lurgy with lots of snot and snorting. I relished being sick because it gave me a divine rest from the frantic year two classroom and the needs of all those individuals. I relished every minute of being at home, coughing spluttering, snorting, popping pills and moaning. It is a very sad day when you wish that you could be sick, just a day or so day longer, so you could miss out on a mind-numbing staff meeting or curriculum (yawn) forum. Just when I am about to head back to work, I wake up with a massive pain in the lower back and arse......the doctor says I may have injured my back coughing so much. Or it could have been that fall down a flight of stairs a couple of weeks ago...
The pain is quite excruciating, and I would swap all those 7 year olds for this anyday.

back to blogging




Winter holidays in Australia. Who would have thought it could be so, well, arctic! We spent two weeks driving around New South Wales, The ACT and Southern Queensland. 5 days were spent in Old Adaminaby near the snow fields, and boy was it cold!
We did the galleries, restaurants, caves, wineries, national parks etc. Took lots of photos and just enjoyed being the special three together without work and school and study stress.
