Hi girls,
Thought I'd pop on quick and tell you about my day.
The party although moved indoors to the youth centre was a blast, the kids all seem to have fun. I ended up with 24 kids including mine. We played musical chairs and pass the parcel and musical statues. The cake was gorgeous and really delicious, I'm just downloading some photos now and will pop a few on the site. Stupid me only put 7 candles on the cake and had to be corrected by 16 8 year olds, so silly, took all the photos with only 7 candles, hehehe. We gave all the kids a Helium balloon with their loot bags to take home, It was a hit. My sister and family came over for the party.
Now we are supposed to be at the schools fundraiser - Bush Dance, but I and the three younger ones are so tired.
Michael is no longer working in Outbye/ Maintenance (mostly surface) he has shifted to the long wall (all underground), which is good experience to add to the CV, so he now works Days 7am to 7pm and nights 6pm to 6am, which brings him home most days now by half past the hour so I'm getting the kids and I up early (not much earlier for me) to make Michael Breakfast of bacon and eggs - the works and Pancakes for Makayla since it is her Birthday tomorrow aswell. That way we can do their pressies and special breaky over with early so Michael can go to bed.
Education I have applied for Early Years and second option of Middle years although I think I'm going to change my preference to Middle years. Which up until I submitted my application was my first preference. The Qld system has all changed now You now have three options, Early years (Birth-Gr3) birth to 8yrs, Middle Years (Gr4-9) 9-14 and Senior years (10-12) 15-18. I will do one year Grad Dip and then Hopefully be working and do one year Post Grad Degree (inservice). When I was going to Uni I ended up getting a job as a House Mistress at the Glennie School. I was a House mother to grade 8 and 9 girls, I loved it, it was the best little job, a roof over my head, 3 squares and 2 snacks a day. But I just don't think I really want to teach High School. I prefer Primary.
