Monday's Good Stuff

1)  I am so glad to be back with my reception class.  I swear I have the loveliest class ever, I really missed them.  I know now that Key Stage 1 (5-7 year olds) just isn't for me, and I really enjoy teaching reception.  Now I'm just applying for reception jobs so I'm really glad it's pointed me in the right direction.

2)  I had the best lazy weekend in Leeds.  Apart from watching Avengers Assemble, Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Bridesmaids we did so little.  Apart from...

3)  Making secret future plans.  Oh how I love blogging about things that I can't really talk about, I love being cryptic!

4)  Sometimes in life it's the little things and I'm currently obsessed with McVities Caramel Digestives.  Om nom nom.

5)  I'm also going through a phase of having hot school dinners with the children a couple of times a week.  I love sitting and chatting with them and it's hilarious to see just how they hoover up their veggies when I eat all mine :)

How is everyone?  Did you have a good weekend?

I Used To Have A Life

Oh my goodness I'm busy at the moment.

Since I got back from Marbella I've been run off my feet, catching up on work and trying to fit in having a life.  I say trying because it doesn't always feel like I'm making a very good job of it.

Job applications have taken over my life at the moment.  I can't wait until I have a job lined up for September and I can relax and concentrate on enjoying this term.  Wish me luck!

Monday's Good Stuff - Holidays! (Picture Heavy)

I may be the luckiest girl in the world.  I mean, a week in Egypt with my fabulous family meant I coulnd't wait for the Easter holiday anyway but then the boy called me and asked if I fancied meeting him in Marbella once I got back!  I'm not one to turn down another holiday so I quickly popped home, slept for a few hours, re packed my case and headed out to the airport for the second time in a week.

To say that these last 2 weeks have been awesome is such an understatement so I thought I'd post a few pictures.

 Me and my very tanned brother.

 To say I'm much paler than my brother is such an understatement.

Feeling amazing (and Usain Bolt like apparently) after snorkelling.

 

And now we go to Spain.

 

 Tipsy on cocktails in the middle of the afternoon.

 

 2 monkeys jumped on me and had a fight in Gibralter.

I'm still waiting to get R's pictures off him so I might end up adding a few more, especially of our night out in Puerto Banus on Saturday (which I'm still recovering from).

I really am so lucky.  I've been back at work a day but I still can't stop smiling :)

Monday's Good Stuff

It feels as though I haven't done one of these in weeks but I think it's only been a couple.  Anyway, this one is scheduled, because...

1)  I'm on holiday!  I cannot tell you how much I need this.  I have worked so hard since I got on this course and a week to just chill out is going to be bliss.  I'm actually taking books with me.  Yes, books.

2)  Of course going away requires a little bit of pampering (I had neglected my nails for weeks) and I'm loving feeling a bit more pulled together again.

Sinful Colors' Love Nails was the holiday pedi shade of choice by the way.  I feel like a mermaid with this on.

3)  I'm two thirds of the way through my course, can you believe that?

4)  I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week but the way that Rich was about it all was amazing.  I've never known someone more helpful and supportive which made the whole process so much better.  Onwards and upwards though and I'll be applying for more jobs once I'm back from my holiday.

What is everyone up to this week?
