I wish I could press pause on the holidays. I want the time to last longer. There is so much I am just beginning to get into after unwinding, celebrating, tripping off to Sydney and now the holidays have shrivelled up and there’s only a week left. How did that happen?
I am listening to an […]

The year 9s finished today and it went well enough. I start tomorrow working with the admin team at the new campus so I won’t be farewelling the rest of the school. It happened so quickly in the end. As it usually does in a big rush where only the important and urgent things got done. […]

I’ve been sick for a couple of days. Friday night I had a heavy chest and it had degenerated until Sunday night I was out of breath. It’s been hot and I love the warm weather. I have not been impressed with being sick at all. I went back to work today. It was busy. […]

Today seemed to be quite a challenging one for most I have spoken to. One of my friends even went so far as to ask me why I didn’t warn her about how hard it was going to be. She was certain there must have been some astrological influence. I had no idea!
Even the chiropractor had a […]

A nasty combination of corrections and report writing, coupled with private life angst has me restless and sleepless. Most teachers know these kinds of nights. The mountain of correction piled high, the report deadline looming and the days so long you know you need to rest. I lie in bed knowing the best thing to […]

Today was one of those days that went from extreme to extreme. We had drama after drama and I don’t even remember if I ate lunch. I can confidently say I ate a lot of chocolate though. Everytime I passed through the office, I grabbed a bar of the fundraising chocolate. I will be able to […]

Tonight we walked down to the shops to get stuff to make risotto (which was v.v.yummy by the way). On our way back through the park, I noticed how dark it was. It was only 5ish. We’d finished dinner and were watching a film by 7pm. It was totally dark and felt like 9! In […]

Warning… this is a total rant.
 For a long time now I have been hesitant to grumble too much about work. I am concerned people I work with would read my blog and recognise themselves and feel hurt or exposed or upset about what I have written. The thing is that mostly I go directly to […]
