Hello again


Well, I've been very busy so I apologise for the interruption to this service but after twelve plus weeks of study and PC stuff...I'm a bit over the whole PC for entertainment bit so I have had a bit of a break from blogging. I have a few (5,6,7 weeks) before the highway of higher education resumes and I'm waiting for the new timetable to show itself so I can see if my electives will fit, being they are final year subjects. I'm still doing my rounds on Saturdays and will continue to do so until end of October with the option of continuing through to end of November. There have been a lot of drop outs from the course which makes you wonder why they work so hard to get into it in the first place. Could it be that their ideal of the career choice is not all they thought it was? Or does having three or sometimes four assignments due within a two week period really freak them out? I think its more the self control and discipline needed to do the required reading, research and such...no one is at you to do it,it is just assumed you have done it.

The kids are fine, thanks for asking; and despite Miss 11 wanting her ears pierced for her 11th birthday, she has has issues with replacing the sleepers after wearing some decorative ones to her cousins 21st on Saturday. Seems the holes have commenced to heal over and I cannot get sleeper nor stud through with out literally having to re pierce her ear!! So we have decided to allow them to heal over and re do them near the end of the year...and I am so looking forward to that one, Yuri!!!Mr 5 is a social butterfly of parties and playdates and I really wish some one would have the economic and social smarts to develop a children's play centre again in Sunbury al-la the one we had in Horne St until early 2003 as I am over the Mc D's and HJ's parties that everyone is having for their kids. Mr 8 is coming along well but I feel the teacher of choice is only going through the motions of inclusion and such, she seems more concerned with what his aide and I discuss rather then being part of any discussion, and the student well being officer, well, administrative wise she's good but again...needs to learn a lot about the system. Just because a child has been given an ADDITIONAL diagnosis which is NOT the primary diagnosis, does not mean the child is now X instead of Y and will no longer be funded...not your decision, not your call, sweetheart!
