Back to School!!

First day back at school went well. Man, I'm tired now though.
We had no kids today, a professional development day at Guildford Landing, which was a nice place to be, with fabulous food. I tried to be good, but wasn't particularly successful, but then again I could have been a lot worse. The Rose and Crown pub is just across the road, we considered trying to sneak out in the lunch break for a drink but thought, knowing our luck, we would get caught - so we didn't.
I ran a workshop, with two mum's who are going to be 'artists in residence' in our school, to design the mosaic mural that we are going to create with the kids. It went really well, as did the rest of the day. I'm very tired now though - will have to get used to getting up at 6.30a.m. again! YUCK!
Right now am enjoying a lovely glass of wine while my fabulous husband cooks me tea - life is good!

I'm ba-a-a-ck!

For some reason I woke up this morning and thought - I'm gonna write on my blog. As you can see it's been about six months now since my last entry, I'm not really sure if it's going to be an ongoing thing...I don't want to commit myself and then disappoint the avid reader (Oh, okay who am I kidding!) But before I write anything else, and just to clear things up, that last entry was written by my darling husband, I have not been in psychiatric hospital for the past six months.
Too much has happened in the last six months to fit it all in, and while it has been a great six months for me if I tried to fit it all in here you'd be asleep before you got to the end and the people who read this are my family and friends anyway, and probably have a good idea what I've been up to.
One thing I will tell you about, it's the reason that I am up on Sunday morning while everyone is in bed, perhaps the reason I am writing here too, because I needed someone to talk to... Tomorrow morning I am doing a workshop for our staff at school, to do with a new arts project that we will be doing...I'm REALLY nervous and I don't know why. I have done this kind of thing a few times now and have been okay, I think I'm a bit worried about the reaction - sometimes new ideas don't go down too well? Anyway, I'll see what happens, I might let you know what happens.
I'm still trying to lose weight, Pete gave me a document that Uncle Steve had made to track my weight loss, today was my second weigh in and I am the same weight as I was last week, so a straight line to start off my weight loss graph.
