update

I haven't updated for such long time. I don't know if anyone will read this but I don't really care.

I have been tagged a little while ago so here I go.

Name three things that scare you. Spiders, Brad driving in the wet weather and my kids being bullied and being bullied myself.

The daggiest thing in your music collection. I don't think they are daggy but many people do. I have a Doris Day album, the Bay City Rollers, Gina Jefferies, Cliff Richard, 2 Cool for Kids etc

Your three favourite clothing items. My cookie monster pjs, a brown cardigan (Brad hates it) & my red top (too hard to describe)

Your partner's most annoying habit. He always think he is right (99.9% of the time he is), and not being able to throw anything away therefore my house, garage and back yard has alot of junk lying around.

What stresses you out? Getting a letter in my letterbox from my "special friends",(still happens). Answering selection criterias for jobs, seeing 'people' from that community who say nasty things to my face.

If I could change the world I would get revenge on a certain community (only joking), try to help all the children in the world, through clothing, education etc. Peace! I also would teach people how their actions (and words) can really do damage to other people.

Your favourite household chore watching Brad clean the house with a chocolate in one hand and a pepsi max in the other.

If you had fifty bucks to spend at Target which section would you head straight for: the lolly section and buy up big. YUM!!!!

In my next life I would like to come back as myself but much better looking (I think good looking people get what they want) and/or a male (they get the teaching jobs regardless if they are good or not), sore point.

Your least favourite celebrity Jim Carey, Prince Charles, Russell Crowe

There you go. Have fun reading the above.


Lots of things have happened lately. I have been working lately (not as a teacher, I had to decide whether to 'play' the game' and hopefully get a school that won't listen to that community or just bite the bullet and get a job, I decide for the latter). I'm glad I have my job, it's challenging and the people are fantastic to work with. I will be very sad to say goodbye when I finish in a few weeks. At the moment I am madly looking for another job to go to. Hopefully, something will come up. I am so sick of applying for jobs and not even getting an interview (I even have people who look at my selection criteria and they can't understand why I am not getting an interview). I'm not too worried, I don't mine if I have to stay at home (sorry Brad).

The boys are doing well both at school and on the social front. Liam has settled well into school. It is amazing how a good caring school makes such a difference. He said to me the other day that he was glad he has left his old school and is now at this school because he feels so much safer. He feels that it is okay to make friends, he is not scared to make friends now because he knows that the teachers will protect him if he is bullied.

Both of them are doing very well at orienteering. Declan decided not to go for the ACT rep team as he just missed out last year and it really disappointed him. So the pressure is off this year and he is doing very well and really enjoying it. Liam map skills are so good, thank God I have him with me or I would be lost.

Brad is doing well. He now works in Civic. We occasionally travel together to and from work but often I catch the bus because I'm not ready in time. Brad only has to get himself ready, I got myself and the kids plus if he is early he can get a free carpark at his work.

Sorry for the long posting. I am so contended and happy and feel very lucky with my family and friends.

take care
