Midweek ...

It is the middle of the week. This week has been so amazing so far (for lots of reasons). The kids have been working so hard, (that's my yr9/10 class) and I've been enjoying the extra non-contacts to get to know everyone on EBB better (LOL). Nah, I have been doing catch up marking and planning for the next few weeks when my seniors are back as well. They'll be getting into reading and analysing their novels next week, so that'll be fun (for me at least). We're studying Lord of the Flies, To Kill and Mockingbird and Animal Farm.

My juniors are doing speeches at the moment and a unit on other cultures/refugees in social studies. In PE hopefully I will have the Pilates DVD by next week OR we're going to learn some cheerleading.

I'm really enjoying being at school ... although can't wait till the time comes to be a SAHM. (It will come ... I am being positive!!).

DH is really enjoying his new job - he is looking at doing some distance learning, so that he can get some formal NZ qualifications. I'm enjoying walking the youngest dog (she's 7 months) in the afternoon as she often doesn't get to work during the day. You're not meant to work two heading dogs at the same time, so until she's a bit more trained, DH can't take her out to do jobs herself. Black, our huntaway, is slowly getting his bark back, although still sounds at times like he's got a frog in his throat. The kittens are going to be dropped off at the pet shop tomorrow or Friday - they are eating one can of jelly meat between them and their mum and day, along with a full bowl of dry food to snack on between times.

I've been into baking lately - oaty biscuits are my poisen of choice. Trying to make myself eat more fruit, but these are yummy!! Into shrimps in nasi goreng for dinner, along with meat with salad in tortilla wraps.

Um, not much else happening. Have a non-contact now while another teacher has the kids so must go and mark their last diagnostic test!!
