Am Not Coping

Hi @Zoe7 and everyone else too.

Well that sounds like another very successful day! Really pleasing to hear. As no doubt the fact that your Hobart Hurricanes won last night was too? So you have wrapped up the #1 position in the comp.

You sound really happy about things at the school Zoe, and thats great. Things really are falling into place for you. And the public holiday next Monday is a fantastic way to help you ease back into the fray. How lucky was that? What is the holiday for btw?

Oh dear, poor Toby. The poor little guy sounds really sick. The fact he ate his dinner is a good sign however. Hopefully he just ate something he probably shouldnt have, which upset his tummy. You are right to keep a close eye on him though. Its really hard when we can tell something isnt right, but have no idea what the problem is. If only they could talk.

So ... its a long weekend now for you. Perhaps you will get a chance to catch up with your friend over the weekend? I know its pretty difficult to organise anything while you're working, but perhaps some opportunities may present themselves over the coming few days. Hope so.

It suonds wonderful your sharing time with your crew @CheerBear It was lovely today seeing all the kids run up to their parents after school - so many of the little preps looked so tired - it is a long few days for them. I imagine your LF were very tired the first few days they were back too but it is lovely that they all seem excited about their day today. Pizza for dinner sounds like a great idea - I am yet to do anything for dinner and I may even slip it tonight and get another eary night instead. Hoping my little one gets bit more life into him by morning. How are Noodle and Mouse coping with Rocket now?

@MDT I hope those thunderstorms do not last long or cause any damage - the flooding in northern Queensland has been horrendous - hoping our @Shaz51 is doing okay.

I missed the win last night @Former-Member - went to bed only a few overs into the Renegades batting - was very tired. Recorded the rest of the match and watched the last few overs this morning whilst getting ready for work. We deserve the top spot though - it has been a great year for our team but it doesn't mean much if we don't do well in the finals and a few other teams are playing really well also so it could be some close matches to come.

Things will progressively start to fall into place as the weeks go on at work - once I have been to all classes at least once the kids will start to get used to having me there asa well as the teachers. I have been really welcomed by everyone so far though and that has been really lovely to be part of. I have actually really enjoyed being in the lower grades classes - the kids are adorable and really wanting to learn so that makes it nice to be around too. I am very much hoping that this good feeling continues and I think the more I get into the actual work the better I will feel.

The public holiday here is for Regatta day - much like show day but the event is free to enter and there are a lot more water sports on the harbour. It makes it a long weekend for us and that is nice to have even if it is at the beginning of the year. It means the kids had 3 days at school this week and then 4 next week so it is kind of an easing into school for them as well.

I don't think I will have a chance to meet up with friend this weekend - got a lot to do around my house while I have the time to do it. I know his house is now on the market also so not sure about inspections or open homes for that either - and haven't received any messages from him all week but that could be because he has been super busy gettng the house ready. Not too fussed about it really - it is what it is.

If only those areas that needed rain would get it @MDT - that would be wonderful.

They do grow up so fast @CheerBear It is lovely that Big is so into their work and has a goal in mind too. You certainly sound like a very proud mum Hon The other 2 excited about sport is wonderful - especially the one that never really has been - that is great to hear.

I love hearing that Noodle and Mouse are tolerating Rocket more - they seem to be finding a way to live together. It can be so hard getting cats to get on so that is real progress. Rocket will be a ball of energy for a bit longer yet so it is good that you give the other 2 some space at night. Cat loves having her own room to get away from Toby - I occasionally see him laying at the gate 'supervising' her but he never tries to get in. He also can't jump on the bed so Cat often sleeps there too. Most mornings she comes in to wake me up also now - which is very cute.

Hope your pizzas are a hit tonight - I can definitely feel that I will be having an early night - super tired now so might be able to check in with you later or it might be tomorrow - let me know how they turn out
