Wow, how long...?

How long have I been out of touch? Too long too much has happened to update on all.
Thomas and Edward playing trains together does happen a lot. Usually ends in a fight but they are boys I suppose.

My 2nd party.

After a week of rain at half term, there is no let up for Eddy's party so everyone will be inside unfortunately. Eddy seems oblivious to it all at the moment.

Whatever the weather

The boys still need to get out. A few weekends ago we came across Weston Park again and this time there was a fair in the park. Lovely if a little bit cold. Eddy loved the car ride and the donuts. Thomas liked the horses and the donuts. Had to believe that the following week we were all complaining because it got too hot.

Unwelcome guest

Thursday last week, went to Bradford to drop docs off for new post, sent 90mins getting home, M1 shut southbound at J39, not much fun. Got home to find this fella in the loft (again) and tried to get him out but how do you do that? He want of his own accord luckily. He came back though, the Friday morning. Think I must have scared him off though because he hasn't been back since.
Paul has found the hole and hopefully it'll filled next week.

A lot has happened recently

Well a mixture of success and failure. We had an inspection Wed Thurs of the first week back. Indoor breaks and constant rain were sure signs that the writing was on the wall. Unfortunately the judgement was special measures which was fair and right I think and now time will tell who will stand or fall!
I was successful in Bradford and now have the prospect of teaching 18 and 19 year olds how to teach Maths! Can't wait!
Eddy is trying to talk all the time which is lovely, frustrating and amusing all at the same time.
Thomas has done show and tell about our day out at Kirklees Light Railway, which is a big thing for him as he has my shy and quiet traits. Let's hope he starts to be a bit more vocal in class now.
Tracy has been great thru all the stress but now needs a rest, not sure when that will happen, sorry!

Nearly forgot

Have an interview for the Maths lecturer post in Bradford soon, result. Hope it all looks good and tidy like me. Think I would be good at it. Hopefully the journey and times will be ok. But it is a way out...means I won't feel as guilty about wanting to spend time with these 2 (+1). Tracy obviously included just not on shot.

New car time

The Honda has gone, can't say am bothered. Should never have bought it. BFL is nice, good to drive, comfy and lots of kit. A stayer then? Yes.

The pressure's on

I'm feeling the strain of teachmg again. Pupil progress meetings tomorrow and my lot are still off target. Still with no adult support and a poor attitude towards work what can I do? Sat around and get fatter I suppose!

Sunday Sunday

Tracy has been poorly all weekend apart from Friday night. Not sure what it is. Could be a mixture of being shattered, a bit of drink and a bad meal. Whatever I hope she is better soon. I have applied for lecturing post in Bradford, would be a good move and ITE is an area I would love to get into. Just use travel although the train could be the answer of a few days. Still not happy at West End for many reasons. Well to tell Sean, that could be tricky.

Big mistake

Buying the CRV has been a big mistake. There was nothing wrong with the Mondeo in fact there were lots right. It was good to drive good to look at and cheap to run. So why the hell did I swap it for this heap of junk! I keep asking myself the same thing! Biggest car mistake so far. The clutch is on the way out £1200, engine management warning light on all time possible injectors £1000 and can't get comfy the seat is bloody uncomfortable after 15mins. So it not staying.
