It’s Holidays Again!
Yeh! School is out, uni is out. No more lunches & ironing of uniforms and rushing to get a park in the carpark at school then flying around to work.
Only 3 days in and the kids are insisting on trying to kill each other every hour or so. Was very glad Alex went off to childcare on Monday things would have been even more dire. He has only 2 weeks left though and only Mon & Fri at that.
Chrismas parties galore this week. Went up to Mt Tambourine on the weekend to have Chrissy with Shirl since she’s off to Egypt next week. Needless to say there was much partaking of food and indulgence in wine and festivities. Highlight was the kids doing a concert for us. The control freak mummies (ie Deb & I) will have imput next year and there will be sufficient lighting, synced music tracks and the compare will not sit in front of each performance and need to be reminded that his sister & cousins are less than 3 foot nothing. It was great anyway.
Got 2 work dos, Mum’s b’day this week & we’re off to see Spicks & Specks at the Lyric so that should be great. Kids are very excited because they get to have their first sleepover at our neighbours house )countdown to which started 3 days ago when they found out they were going)! This is a first and only happening because S&S doesn’t start until 9pm. Our neighbours are wonderful. They’re even taking all 6 kids (ours & theirs) to a Christmas Carols service in the local showgrounds! Very game I say.
On other news, I have put in for a job as an associate lecturer. Part-time job at GU which allows me to still do QIBT as well. Downside is there are 3 of us inhouse who have applied 7 only 2 positions. Will have to see how that plays out. Hope I get it though as it’s a 3yr position!
Well I’m off to do more Christmas decorating & baking & see if the school has uploaded Princess Pea’s report card yet!
