Far and Away

Oh Hon - thank you I do love my job ...and to think a couple of years ago I wanted to never go back - how much life can change when you are amongst supportive people and not the bullsh*t I had to put up with. That is absolutely their loss though and I have never been happier in my job or at the school I am at @Faith-and-Hope One of our Aides said to me today that her daghter loves my classes but she is not surprised as everyone she works with feels the same - that was a lovely compliment to receive ...makes it all worthwhile I also ran into one of my kids at the supermarket - she was away sick today and her Mum said she was so disappointed because she loves Fridays. I call her mini-me and she is my offsider on a Friday

😊 You brought a smile to my face with that @Zoe7 . I love how the kids know they have a place with you.

That is always my priority @Faith-and-Hope Kids first, teaching second - we can only teach to their strengths and get the best out of them all once they know we are there for them, know them and truly care - it makes the world of difference.

I better head to bed Hon - goodluck with your work tonight. Will check in on you tomorrow. Hugs and hugs sweetheart

That was my natural instinct with teaching @Zoe7 , but our training was curriculum centred rather than child centred. I thought I had chosen the wrong profession !! It was soon after that that I married my now-ex anyway ..... and then produced my own little class ..... heehee ❣️

Goodnight Hon. Sleep well 😴

You certainly did have your own little class at home @Faith-and-Hope and I have no doubt you have been a great teacher along the way with all your baby dragons

I also have no doubt you would have been an amazing teacher - and if that is in your future then you will be a natural at it

Didn't sleep very well last night but need to be up and about so I can unpack the car and make it to my kids' soccer game. I can sleep again later to catch up a bit if I need to. We are not supposed to have dogs at these games but I will take Tobes and he can sleep in the car. The good side to winter here is Tobes is okay in the car snuggled up on his blanket 👍

How did you go with your work last night?

@Adge Read your WR posts It is absolutely ridiculous that they are expecting you to do work that you are obviously not capable of doing ...and to be honest - those hours not many would be capable of doing. Keep us updated how it all plays out buddy

@Snowie @Shaz51 @Eve7 @Emelia8 @Anastasia @Former-Member Godd morning to you all - I hope there is a little light in all your days

Thank you @Zoe7 ❤️
Looks like I have ended up with art teaching quals via an alternative pathway ..... 😏

I finished as much of that assignment as I could without peer feedback, which I now have to wait on. Because we have extensions in place owing to the Covid outbreak in Vic, that might be delayed too. Can't be helped. Everyone is scrambling.

That sounds cozy for Tobes, and I am sure he will enjoy the white noise of the kids game in the background.

I am off to church this morning, then to collect a suitcase repair, then back to work on these submissions ...... tick, rock, tick, tock ......

I could not be happier for you with moving forward with those qualifications @Faith-and-Hope I could see you starting up your own studio and teaching others art Hon ...or travelling around to schools having art workshops I would love to have you here with me to work with our kids - they would learn so much from you and I know they would fall in love with you

I hope you get that peer feedback soon and can move forward with what you still need to do. It must be frustrating having those restrictions in place again but the upside is you can spend more time in the west 👍

I too better get myself moving otherwise I will not get everything done I need to and make the game on time. Have a great day Hon - will catch you later

Thanks @Zoe7 ❤️

Thanks for callout @Zoe7 Enjoy the soccer game. Such a good teach✔️

Hi @Faith-and-Hope group assignments can be frustrating. You have the best attitude 💗

Hi @Snowie @Shaz51 @Emelia8 and all reading. Hope the weekend is kind to you 💗

Thanks @Former-Member ..... and you too ❣️
Better get my tooshie out of bed and moving towards church ....
