Playing Catchup in my Wellies

I’ve been slack. So i’ll fill you in with whats been happening. Lets start with the school trip.

The week away with the kids was pretty good. The first night never goes well for sleeping (kids and teachers) and there were a few kids that spent some time outside their rooms for talking. There were no accidents at ice skating and we didn’t lose anyone (although i tried a few times). Our country kids had no concept of “stick to the right” on the busy city streets and walked so bloody slow! They would be hopeless in peak hour on the tube. I also had my birthday on the trip and got to have a posh lunch at Parliment House. Then it was Heidi’s birthday the next day. We got a cake and a card each to celebrate.

 The last day saw us head to Eastlands to do a bit of shopping- i was just too stuffed to do any clothes shopping and just wandered around the shops- alone (it was great). The whole group were pretty noisy whilst we were away- but the bus trip home wasn’t too bad. I slept heaps during the weekend and still felt stuffed by the end of the next week. Lucky i’m on holidays now and don’t have to face a class full of kids.

Moving right along. I’ve got a cold (again- if there is a god, he ain’t looking after me) and feel pretty crap. I think the only thing that made me feel better were these lovelys:

Yep, wellies. They came in the post from Annaleis and i LOVE THEM! The bag got opened at customs and then re-sealed with Quarrantine notices, but they made it. They fit perfectly for shoe size and are snug in the calf area. I took them to school and the Grade 4’s tried them on. Some of the girls even wore them around the room!

Now it’s term break and i’ve got a list of jobs to do. Including tidy the room, sort paperwork and mark books etc. Report writing is starting after the holidays- ugh… Better go and start the cleanup
