Tuesdays that feel like Mondays

March 9th, 2010 · No Comments

Ah the long weekend that passed. I felt reluctant about getting up this morning. I got into work and had morning yard duty straight up. It was cold. I missed getting my new timetable and thinking I had a free as per my old timetable missed a class altogether. The students obviously kept themselves to […]

Progress and Exes

December 28th, 2009 · No Comments

I have been really productive today. I have cleaned the house and attended to a few overlooked personal matters that I have been putting off. I have downloaded all my photo’s from my camera and my mum’s and put some on facebook for the family to see. I also put my little clip from Asha’s […]

Touch Footy

October 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

I’d love to say I played touch footy last night, but truthfully I had a little dazed run around the grass, for very short periods. Darin and I have joined the ’social’ touch footy competition. He managed to play for almost the entire game. It was my first experience of the game. I liked it […]

Home Again

October 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

It was beautiful weather at Tamboritha. The creeks were full and flowing with the melted snow. We walked to Thomastown on the first day. The water was freezing, not that I wet more than my feet. It was numbing.
I rode the horses morning and afternoon on Tuesday. We rode through the bush and along the […]

These Days…

October 13th, 2009 · 2 Comments

We have laptops in many classes now. There is so much to teach about using the Internet. This week we had a learning experience about Twitter. Some students were using it as though it were a private chat room. I guess because all their usual chat channels are blocked by the schools ‘protection systems’ it […]

9 Holes

September 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments

Yesterday we went to Cowes for a drive. It was really sunny when we left home and my clothing reflected this. Once I arrived I needed to buy a pair of warm pants because my skirt just wasn’t keeping the wind out. I love the emergency purchase. We checked out some real estate that we’d […]

Excited

September 10th, 2009 · No Comments

Tom is coming home tomorrow. I haven’t dared to think about it too much over the last two weeks but recently I can’t hide from the longing to see my son. Everywhere I go lately I have bumped into one of his friends who share my anticipation. Darin and I are planning a gathering over […]

Wii Age & other improvements

July 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

This week I have exercised every day. It’s such a luxury. I must keep it up when I get back to school. When we got our Wii and I did the fitness assessment thingo, I was age 60… how embarassing. Last night I did it again and I was down to 35! Much better. I […]

No Rush

June 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment

The weekend was fun. I really love having the kids. I’m kind of surprised as I never expected what fun it would be to have little kids back in my life. I thought I was happy to have a child free life. Maybe I was just trying to convince myself of that because I thought it was […]

Sore Loser

June 15th, 2009 · No Comments

Darin and I bought a Wii this weekend. I have wanted one since Christmas when I played with Tim and Nicole’s. After the kids went home Sunday night, we had a play. I lost every game and tried really hard. I tried so hard that today my shoulders and upper arms are aching as though […]
