Whilst browsing through the internet looking for TA jobs I've finally found one and it's at a school that only 5mins walk from where I live.  Can't stop getting excited, don't you just hate that, I haven't even got the job and I'm excited   Not had much luck recently so musn't get my hopes up, please please please pray that I get this job!!!!!

Daniel's chickenpox is now at the drying out stage, but I have this horrible feeling that I might possibly have shingles, there is a small rash on my arm it doesn't itch or hurt yet but I just have this feeling  My poor little man hates his spots it is so annoying knowing that it will take almost another week for him to heal and for them to disappear. 

Back to the school run next week, hope you all enjoyed your week off.

I was looking forward to next week, I had even booked the boys for a week of swimming lessons and now it has all gone pear shaped.  Looks like Daniel has got chickenpox, little spots have started coming out over his body and it is definately chickenpox because I have seen it before as I had it with Alex when he was 2 years old. I know there is never a right or wrong time to have chickenpox but why now????  Got to try and see if I can get my money back for the swimming lessons and I'll have to cancel my exam invigilations that I have booked for the following week. Oh well I hope you all have a better school holiday than me.

Was feeling terribly broody recently and as I'm not allowed to have any more children I decided to have a rabbit instead, lol.  Well it was either that or a kitten or a puppy just anything small and soft and cuddly.  Took me ages to plea bargain with hubby and he wasn't happy I can tell you.  My boys love the rabbit so I think I did the right thing.   I am terrible for doing things on impulse but I find that doing things on impulse are sometimes the most fun.  Oh well so much for my exam invigilation money going towards my NVQ looks like it will be mostly paying for the rabbit extras, lol.

Is this part of growing old not having any energy to get things done.  I've only been on my feet all day and still don't feel like I've actually got anything done.  Got the shopping, did the ironing which took 3 hours, got the kids, made the dinner and did the washing up but still have loads to do.  I am soooo tired I just want to crawl into bed and fall asleep, right now.  Just haven't got the stamina anymore, lol.  Did my exam inviligation for the second time yesterday and going to the secondary boys school from hell didn't seem that nerve racking in fact I feel like I am learning to be more assertive, LOL, that won't last long.  Got some more inviligation work at a secondary school for girls and couldn't believe the difference the atmosphere was a lot calmer and a lot less intimidating. Hope everyone is ok and you have all had a good Thursday.  

It's great being able to share my experiences with you all, you all make everything I do feel so special and I love the way everyone pulls together to support someone when they are down or having a bad time.  Minti is more of a family to me than any family I know it's great getting to meet you all.   I LOVE YOU ALL LOADS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did my first day at being an exam invigilator (had never heard of it before) but all it is, is a job where you watch kids sit their exams and hand out and collect the test papers. It's not a permanent job it's casual and flexible but it will do for now, and it looks like I will be busy doing this from now till the end of June. Still not giving up on my dream to be a TA but at least this will help me towards the cost of my NVQ. The only problem with this job is that it's either early morning or late afternoon so I have to pay for before and after school clubs for my youngest which doesn't leave me with much left over from what I earn.  Anyway shouldn't moan I know a lot of my friends are not having much luck at the moment so I wish them all the best and I hope things improve for them soon.

Survived Saturday with medals of honour.  Had prepared myself for facing her again and I did it I survived I didn't feel stressed or angry or anything just got on with my job in robotic fashion and got a chance to speak to one of the staff members who she said had been moaning about me and found out that wasn't the case she had just twisted everything to suit herself.  Realised it's not me that's going mad in fact it's her that's going mad. In fact it made me realise also that it wasn't just me that had to cope with her madness all my colleagues were in the same position.  Anyway have decided to join a temp agency to see how that suits me and if that goes well then I think I'm definately on the road to recovery.  Hope you guys are all ok and fighting those demons, LOL.

Feeling quite good today got to admit have been feeling pretty good since my counselling session on Tuesday not sure if I will still feel the same come Saturday but suppose at least I still have one more day to enjoy. Really enjoyed my day at the school on Wed and went swimming today and got my hair cut it's a bit shorter than I like but it feels nice. Still no luck with finding a job but not going to give up, just have to be patient.  At least the sun is shining for now and I'm feeling a little positive so that will have to do, lol
