because its been awhile Thursday, October 22, 2009
ive been working at my new job for 8 weeks now. wow. seems like it was just yesterday and years ago!
im the key person of 3 children- 2 new children and 1 old one plus i help observe a downs syndrome boy or a special needs boy whenever they come upstairs in our classroom.
today has been a tiring day- am knackered but it doesnt mean i dont love what i do. its challenging, and demanding- we dont even get proper toilet breaks (only during our break times) im supposed to have 30 minutes lunch break but i quickly finish mine after i eat because my help is needed- i dont mind this because 2 of the teachers i work with do the same (0ne of them sometimes dont eat lunch because it gets really hectic)
anyway, i love the school and i adore everyone. the person i work with is really supportive and we have good team work.
we made hanuman masks today ( i drew the templare lolz) for the divali festival, last week i collected leaves so we can stick it to the trees i drew (autumn theme you see)
next month, i am turning 30! w00th and to celebrate it- i am finally CELEBRATING it. im throwin a mini party- dinner at nandos then back home to my flat f0 boozeages and stufflings
that is al.

Dylan went back to school this week, and tomorrow is his first day at the after school club. I need to work upto 5 pm on Mondays (cos of swimming) and fridays (cos of library) and luckily enough dylan got a spot at the asc. phew
so far, things are going well at my new school- am happy. i would love to do more but im sure i will be able to in the future since im a n00b.
im keyworking 2 children at the moment- and helping ms sonia run the toddler room . i reckon we need more groups tho and age interaction but ill suggest that to ms kaya next time :)
all in all am happeh bunneh.

Colin's 9 day holiday is finished.hes gone back to work and i miss him terribly.
i got so used to having him around everyday- and doing something fun everyday - im in a state of semi-shock.
its also raining today, i was goin to take dylan out somwhere cool. but instead, we stayed in.
I start my new work next week, on Bank holiday monday we are having a team meeting then tuesday is when the children head back to the nursery and i properly start as a montessaurus.
i cant believe im finally a directress- this has been such a long term goal and now that ive reached it im still adjusting to the idea that i am finally qualified.
I am looking forward to formally meeting my colleagues, i am hoping that it isnt as creaky as my past experiences in the nurseries/montessories i worked at
Im currently reading the diceman and it's weirdly affecting me. Maybe, because its indirectly making me look at my life and how i live it.
im in a midyear itch again. ive gained some weight (4lbs) from all the take aways and kfcs. eeeh.
and ive fallen more in love with colin.
im still in denial sometimes that hes actually part of my life. meeting his parents and seeing pictures of his past just reaffirms that i do love him. very much. the connection i have with him is magical, ive never met anyone who can instantly cure my grouchyness and understand, as well as appreciate my corkiness.
in other news, ive managed to get the dylan in eating carrots- next is to get him eatin peas and carrots. oooh, im doin that in 2 weeks time when ive increased the number of carrot sticks that he eats for din dins.
frank seems to be a bit under the weather as well- he threw up 2x yesterday and not eating much today, i reckon he has a bit of a cat flu from his adventures last saturday
my birthday ( im turning 30!!!)and christmas is around the corner and i guess thats 2 of the things im looking forward to (esp as summer is almost over :( )
im planning on having a party on my birthday- maybe invite people out to a pub and then head out clubbing? or have a fancy dress party- feed them food and then drink? not sure yet, still thinkin about it :)
this coming holiday season, colin and i will be celebrating our first xmas together- him, me and dylan. Dylan shall be celebrating it with the connollys on xmas eve and then gran's on boxing day then blake, dylan and i shall celebrate it after on the sunday (27th)
