Far and Away

it was funny @Zoe7

yesterday sunday we had a lazy day , just relaxing and watching shows we tapped

and the diabetes were high all day and night , which is strange

my other support person for my mum is my 82 year old aunty ( mum`s sister ) she had to have surgery yesterday to fix her throat so she could swallow again

That leaves more on your shoulders @Shaz51 and whilst you may have had a lazy day yesterday the underlying stress may still be there - certainly could understand that with everything going on for you, your mum and Mr Shaz. Keep looking after yourself and seeing how your levels are ...and hope you are not getting sick my sister

@Faith-and-Hope I have finally finished the first lot of work I needed to get done before tomorrow and it is all ready to print out. I have one more quick job and one longer one to do still so it is going to be a long night. I don't need to be at school until midday although I would prefer to go in early if I can to get all the printing done, the displays put up and the rest of the cleaning done before my colleague teacher gets there. I will see how I go tonight, try to catch a couple of hours sleep at some stage and then get stuck into it again.

I hope your afternoon class was easier on you Hon ...leaving this for you tonight as I have a feeling you need it...

Thank you @Zoe7 .... that's really special.

we had a work break in our second class, and instead of working on the assignment I rested for half of that time, so didn't get the activity finished until after class, but that was okay. I have the rest of the week for more activities that are follow-on ones.

Well done you on getting done as much as you have. I hope the rest comes together easily for you and you can approach tomorrow with a sense of peace about it all. I know you enjoy the work you are doing, so I hope you are allowing yourself to be in the moment and connect with it as you go.

Heading for bed now ...... I took a load off and watched The Bodyguard tonight. I haven't seen it in a while, and I like the soundtrack.

That movie has an epic soundtrack @Faith-and-Hope 👍

I am so glad you took some time out for yourself - I am actually quite worried about you at the moment but also know you will look after yourself (doesn't stop me worrying though ) You getting some rest today instead of working on your assignment is a good indication you are looking after yourself but I also know you are emotionally tired so fill your life with as much joy as you can as well as the work you need to do.

I will be doing the same after tonight and tomorrow. I still have reports to do and the art curriculum to work on but the latter is of course something I will enjoy doing ...but that I can work on over the term rather than having to have it all done at once. So reports next then I am going to be able to have some time out - maybe get into the garden if the weather is not too bad.

I will say goodnight to you Hon - always with you and loving you with all of my heart 😘

❤️ @Zoe7

Thanks @outlander. How is your day looking ?

🦋💕 @Zoe7. All the best with your meet-up today. I look forward to hearing how you got on.

Hi @Snowie. I saw you there ❄️💕

Hey @Faith-and-Hope It has been a pretty productive day. Ididn't get into school as early as I had wanted to as my sister called in this morning. Managed to make it about midday and got nearly everything done I wanted to. I took Tobes with me so I had company before my colleague teacher turned up. We went through some of the groupings and kids that need extra help then talked about routines and structure in the classroom. She is going to leave most as I have already had it for continuity so that makes it easier for me too. For my 2 days on class I will be doing some of the reading groups, science, shapes and time for maths and continuing with the spelling program I started - so it will not only be manageable but things I am interested in as well. She is going to concentrate more on writing because that is her specific area of interest and I am happy enough for her to do that.

I got everything printed out I needed to today, put up some displays and the kids art work from last term and put everything away I brought home to sort out. I forgot to take a few things in but can do that later in the week or Monday (depending on how I feel for the rest of this week). My priority tonight is getting all the kids' work into their books then reports tomorrow. That will leave me a few days to begin the art curriculum - I will get a general plan organised for the term then can plan the specifics week by week as I go - that should make it a little easier. Having a general overview of the term will help me order what I need ahead of time so it is pretty important I get that done before we return to school next week.

I am well behind where I wanted to be this week but if I can get the work done tonight and the majority of the reports done tomorrow then I will feel a lot better about it all.

Going to feed the fur babies and have a rest first then get dinner later before I begin work again. These holidays are flying by but I am trying not to stress toomuch today about anything - I am doing all I can do to get things done and that is all I can do.

I hope you have had an okay day with little stress yourself. Look forward to hearing about your day when you get a chance. In the meantime sending you some of those big squishy hugs and a whole lot of love. Give Nelly a pat from me too Hon 💜💙💛🧡💚

Wow @Zoe7 Sounds like you have got lots done today, well done for achieving so much.

A rest now sounds like a good idea.

Am halfway through cooking dinner now. No doubt I will here "I'm hungry" soon from the kids when they emerge from their rooms!!
