First day with the kids done👍😁 @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Pepsimax @eth @Bimby2 @Sans911 @Snowie @MDT @Adge @Bunniekins @Appleblossom @utopia @Meowmy @Angels333 and all others following along...
They are a really lovely bunch of kids and I can see I am very quickly going to like all of them. There are a couple of tricky kids but they were also excited about being back at school so that was nice. We had a really chilled out, calm day with lots of 'getting to know you' activities. Tomorrow and Friday will be some of the same but getting their books organised also. We finished the day with sharing what they enjoyed about the day and what we can do better - surprisingly no-one mentioned the latter, they were all really positive and left with smiles on their faces - so a really good way to end the day.
I am not as tired as I expected to be but do still have a lot to finish for tomorrow and next week. I am getting there slowly but also trying not to stress about it either - it will get done when it gets done. The most important thing is the kids are engaged and happy ...the learning will then follow.
Tobes and Cat are fed and happy also - so life is pretty good today. Cat is booked in for her ultrasound but we have to wait 2 more weeks as she has to be in for the whole day. I could have taken her in on the earlier Monday but chose the Friday so I could be home with her over the weekend ...she has to have a general anaesthetic so being able to keep an eye on her afterwards is needed.
Will be another night making more labels but if I can get their book ones finished tonight then they can put them on tomorrow - that is my priority right now. Dinner for me first then getting stuck into it so I can have an earlier night. Mornings are a struggle but I will get used to getting up earlier and getting organised eventually - just need to get back in the routine again.
I hope everyone has had a little light in their day
