2.44a.m.

It's 2.44a.m. on Saturday morning. My body clock has been going crazy lately, often I am finding myself still laying awake at two or three or waking at the same time and then not getting back to sleep. It's driving me mad, I've never had a problem sleeping before...oh well, perhaps it's part of getting old, and I get to watch some really bad shows on Foxtel.
It's been another flat out week this week, the spelling bee was the highlight on Thursday. We had around two hundred students and teachers attend and it went off without a hitch, it was really great. The only dilemna was that we ran out of time at the end and had to announce the last five contestants equal winners. The problem was the kids were too good and these last five just weren't getting out. I think of myself as a pretty good speller but these guys were just outstanding!!
I had my job interview today, thank goodness that's over. I think it well and my friend, who is the deputy and was on the panel for the interview was positive afterwards so that's good. I'm not sure when I'll hear. It's a clear vacancy position which means if I get it and no permanent teacher transfers into the position then I will have the job permanently, so that will be a great thing.
James has been having bike ed. at school, she just started it today and enjoyed it. She was a bit annoyed with herself for wearing tight pants because it made bike riding a bit difficult but I'm sure she'll remember next week.
Dylan's off to the zoo tomorrow with mates, I told him if the weather is fine David and I might go to the zoo and meet him there, he was not impressed.
The laptop keeps flashing low battery at me so I think I'll head off and try to get some sleep.
Take care,
Chris
