| I have re-read my last few posts and they seem to be full of excuses and promises - I've decided there will be no more promises or excuses...I'll just write when I feel like it.
I am happy...
I enjoy my work. It is busy and demanding, but I am handling it. I am trying to work out what jobs are available for next year so that I can start to plan my work (and perhaps a change in living arrangements) for next year. Hopefully, I can stay at the school I'm at and consolidate what I have done this year. Moving schools and starting all over again will be tough to do again...I'm now at my fourth school in three years, I think that's enough moving around.
I have wonderful friends and a full life. I have become far too reliant on my diary to make plans, otherwise I find I may have committed myself to be in two places at once - but this is hardly something to complain about! I have a loving and supportive family, who put up with my all my faults and idiosyncrases.
I am emotional...
Weddings are a big focus at the moment. Alison's is only 6 weeks away and we are in full flight with final preparations and organisation. Brian's will be 8 weeks after Alison's, so not much time to turn around and do it all over again! It is an exciting time in their lives and I am thrilled that they are marrying wonderful people. I am finding myself feeling sad and teary at times, yet happy and excited in the next moment. This mix of emotions and the highs and lows are things I have struggled with for a while now.
It is also a lonely time and not just because I am single. I am happy and I would much rather be happy and single, than in a relationship and unhappy! I do have moments however, when I am lonely. I think I am lonely without Mum, without her here to share these moments.
And it does go without saying - I would love to have my own someone special in my life....
I am tired...
Between work, my social life, my family and being emotional (!), I just never seem to get enough sleep. I also don't think it helped to have spent the past three days on camp with seventy-four Year Five students in the Blue Mountains, Bathurst and Hill End....that's more than enough to put anyone over the edge!
To conclude...
Life and people continue to change and I am definitely wiser for the experience - and also the new light in which I see people. | | |
| I'm not sure what to do with this blog. With work, family, friends and life in general, I rarely get a chance to read the blogs I want to, let alone find some time to sit down and put something up here to share with those who check in to catch up on my life. I'm also not as conscious these days of things I want to record here...things change I guess. I'll have a think about it over the next few weeks.... Otherwise, I am well. Work is busy and it has been a hurrendous term with report writing, parents forums, student performances and professional development seminars....and that's not taking into account the teaching and marking that happens each day! Parent-teacher interviews start tomorrow and will go for the next week. Then there will only be a few days of school until the holidays! I have really felt like I haven't stopped this term and that it has flown by so fast. I need this break! Al and Brian's wedding plans are progressing well. Lots of news to update there. Hugo is an amazing little boy, with amazing parents. He is now 4 months old - laughing, smiling and is just very cute! We had his baptism recently, photos may appear eventually but no promises!! I'll try to use the holidays to update this more fully as well as catch up on some sleep! | | |
| Yes, it's been a long time. I don't really have an excuse. Maybe it's a case of the old cliche...instead of writing about my life, I've been getting out there and living it.
I finished my first term at the new school and survived. It's not the best place I've ever worked but it pays and I am doing a good job. My social life is as busy as ever and I am happy to keep it that way. I am lucky to have the friends that I do.
My family are well - Hugo is growing madly and is simply gorgeous. We are all very besotted with the little man. The wedding plans are coming along nicely for both Brian & Amanda and Alison & Pete. I am enjoying sharing in all of these things with my siblings. My life seems very quiet by comparison, with respect to these big changes in their lives.
As for me, I am happy. I am content to be where I am and look forward to where I am going...
