Howdy!

Wow, it's getting longer and longer between blog posts these days...I must be busy or something...
I don't even know what's happened since my last post.
School is going pretty awesome! I LOVE my class, so much! They are tonnes of fun, and they (most of them) can give out sarcasm as quickly as they receive it :) Tomorrow is the beginning of week 4, which means there are only 6 weeks of my contract left...I was getting all teary at work on Friday arvo cause I was sad that I'm gonna have to leave these guys soon. I'm so over-emotional at the moment. I like to think it's sympathy hormones, cause one of my best friends is mega-preggers, so I'm sharing her crazy, all-over-the-shop hormones with her. That makes sense, right?
In fact, this friend is having her baby (a boy) on Thursday night at 11pm! Well, it will be Thursday morning for her, the 15 hour time difference makes it night time here though. I'm SO excited!!! I got to talk to her on Skype last night, and I got to see her almost-two year old son as well (he's usually asleep when we Skype, so I haven't seen him in ages). So, come Thursday night, I'm going to have 2 honorary nephews! Can't wait!
Last week we had our inter-school athletics carnival. My guys went really well. I have some awesome little runners and high-jumpers in my class (there was shot put, and discus, and long jump too). One of the girls in my class actually won the trophy for receiving the most points individually. I was so proud! (probably not as proud as her mum was, but I reckon I was pretty close!)
I went down to Lismore a few weekends ago for my nephew's 16th birthday! I hated when I was younger and people used to say "I remember when you were knee-high to a grasshopper", or "I remember changing your nappies", and other comments along those lines. When people say it to me now (and it doesn't happen so often these days), I actually kinda like that those people knew me when I was little. How things change, hey?
Anyway, for my nephew's birthday, I morphed into 'one of those people'. I found my hand writing comments in his card about him when he was little...it was like my hand had a mind of its own! I couldn't stop it! I really cannot believe he is 16 now though, he's so old, and tall (taller than me, has been for well over a year now, and I'm not short). He is such a great kid though, and I love him dearly. He's the eldest of my 7 nephews and nieces, and he can learn how to drive now. It's weirding me out. It was so nice to be with him for his birthday though, so I am very thankful that I live close enough to be able to do that.
My class have to do their first assessment tomorrow. On map reading (looking at legends, scales, etc). They have been learning all about maps this past week, so, hopefully, they will ace the test. They also have a test on their 1, 2 and 3 times tables, I will be very interested to see how they go with that.
In other news, I think I've eaten my weight in peanut m and ms these past few weeks. I really need to do some exercise to counteract this sudden increase in fat....I probably won't though. So, if I die from clogged arteries, you'll know why.
I should probably go, I do have lots of work to do. Not that I don't love keeping a blog, just that I also love my job, and I should get crackin' on finishing my plan for this week.

Peace out!
