Friday night at the movies.

I'm laying in bed writing this, feeling quite lazy and looking forward to a lovely lazy weekend. My muscles are still a bit sore from running seventy five metres in the parent, teacher, student relay at the sports carnival in the week (students won) so I am procrastinating getting out of bed.
I went out with some friends last night to the movies, but let me start the story at the beginning.
After school yesterday Murray came to school to pick the girls up for the night, Caitlyn went to get her stuff out of the car and locked the keys in the boot. I rang David to come and unlock it but he had footy training so couldn't come until six o'clock. So I went back into the staff room and had one or two drinks two many. Time came where everyone was starting to head off and I was picturing myself sitting alone in the carpark waiting for David. Nat asked if I'd like to come along to the pictures with her, Helena and Jane (a mum from school) At this stage I have to say that I really wasn't thinking too clearly but clearly enough to say "what about Dave?" So Christiaan offered to take David out for a boys' night because he is feeling lonely and was feeling over girls at the time, although I'm sure he's over that by now.
We went to see an Irish movie called 'Once' The music was amazing, I thought the film was okay. Apparently it is really fantastic and Steven Spielberg says it's his favourite ever movie or something. David says I have the taste in music and movies of a fourteen year old girl. I like pop music and hollywood movies so it wasn't really my taste but it was okay. The kebabs before hand were great though.
Christiaan and David had a good night and Dave was very excited that there were girls checking them out. Luckily for them they didn't act on their lustful thoughts otherwise I would have had to track them down and beat them up.
Only three weeks until the holidays, YAY!! I can't wait.

Feeling Fat!

Jamie made me a vegimite sandwich today for my lunch. I forgot to take it to the staff room so I just had coffee for lunch but then after school they had profiteroles, cakes and biscuits and by then I was really hungry so I ate heaps. I have to go back to Weight Watchers to weigh in tomorrow night, to maintain LTM (life time membership) I have to stay within two kg's of goal. I was trying to be really good but my will power is so low and chocolate tastes so good.
Pete commented that he'd lost 4 kg's in one week, I never asked how you did it..got any tips?
The girls and I were due to go to Nanna's for tea tonight but she was really sick to we had to give it a miss, hopefully she's feeling better. James stayed home from school yesterday, I know that she is really ill if she asks to stay home because she loves school. She stayed with Mum but Mum was really ill and spent the day in bed too, she had a stomach gastro thing, I hope you are feeling better Mum if you are reading this.
Michael had his first classes of economics and chemistry this week which he enjoyed and is hoping to continue with next year, he is hoping to be a lawyer and keep his mum in the manner to which she'd like to become accustomed.
Take care,
Chris.

Spring has sprung!

Seriously, how beautiful was the weather today, I love spring. Cait came out from class today in such a good mood, which is actually a bit unusual for her of late, I said "Cait, you're in such a good mood have you had a great day?" She said "no, I had a really bad day but I feel really good anyway!" She had had a fight with two friends which when you are 9 is absolutely devastating. But she's okay now, her and Dylan are playing 'Battlefield 1942.'
I had no classroom today because they needed it for an incursion so I was in the music room which has no desks or chairs so I decided to let the kids watch videos. I took in my lap top and got so much work done, I am thinking of doing it every Monday - I'll put the idea to the Principal tomorrow.
We had round one of the Inaugural Swan District Spelling Bee at the assembly this morning. I got three of our male teachers up to have a go, the kids loved it. I can't believe they could spell obsolescence, colloquial and entrepreneur.
Yesterday was a great day, Dave's mum and dad, Linda and Colin came up for the day with their great nieces Josie and Jade. Colin liked his present, a Tolkein book that was edited by his son, or something or other?? I was pleased he liked it because he's hard to buy presents for. David got fishes, socks, chocolates, a drink bottle and a cool ball thingy that changes colour. I bought him KFC for tea which made him really sick. I really missed my dad and thought of him a lot, I wished he could've met David, he would have really liked him.
The most exciting part of my day happened when I came home and checked my blog and two people had left comments, one my beautiful mum, and one a gorgeous guy (thanks Rod.)
Take care,
Chris

My Photos

Chris and Dave

An old photo of me with my spunky husband - it was all I could find.

A picture

Following my research into improving my blog I am trying out inserting pictures.
This is a green tree frog and I have four. (woohoo green font)
This picture is from the internet - I hope I am allowed to do that, now I am going to try to copy a photo from my computer into my blog - wish me luck.

Blog research

Thank you Rod for adding me to your 'favourite blogs' and for reading my blog because now I feel very honoured that I have two readers, I will have to start harder. When I went to Rod's blog, I found I was looking at it with the new eyes of a fellow blogger and noticed all the really cool colours and pictures and fonts and stuff. I decided to look around at some blogs and do some blog research. I really liked Jenny's blog, Rod, I wish I was funny like her, or good looking like you, or could write really long reviews like David. My problem is I'm a techno-imbicile and have no idea what I'm doing...David has given up trying to teach me computer stuff because I am a very bad student. There was going to be a comment here that has something to do with spanking but David has given his students the address for my blog so I won't go any further...just in case.
By the way, speaking of Book Week as we were, David did suggest I dress up in a Princess Leia slave girl outfit for dress up day on Friday, but I said no - I couldn't afford to pay the psychiatric bills for all the childrens.
My friends Rhonnda and Darianne came for tea last night, David was our house elf and fed us and supplied us with our alcohol, sometimes we let him speak to us but mostly he sat in the corner, quietly. Darianne is transferring to Kalgoorlie to be with her husband who is a principal there, which is very good for her but sad for us.
Take care,
Chris
