Poor Neglected Blog.....Im sorry

Im Sorry I did not get to you last week.....but life is very busy when the kiddos are back at school.....
So lets see what happened in the world of Chez the last 9 days or so......
I volunteered to do some clerical type work at my dd school...and have done that nearly every day!....Playgroup started back and we have lots more under 3's this year......and a balance of boys to girls..yeah....and more interested mums that will be coming this week! yahoo
My ds had his school swim carnival.....second in all but breaststroke in which he came first...he was also made House Captain this year.....I am so proud of his achievements!
Dd is settling in to school really well....which is fantastic after last years start.
Baby moved the other morning and is now transverse I am sure...will confirm tomorrow when I go to OB/GYN.
Saw parents last weekend and my sis & co. were there too.....that was great to catch up for a while.
Function today at the local club, my Guides had to help serve as a service activity...went well.
It was actually sunny today so all my washing for the last two weeks is now dry and clean yeah.......That's it...no more.......

So School is back!

How interesting....one in Year 11 (Senior High) One beginning Primary.....and one just due to arrive to the world.....
The first 3 days of school for the year have been great for both my kids! They are both settled and organised. The older child discovering already that the next two years will be no walk in the park! But still loving it....engaged in learning! excited about what he's learning!
As for her....new teacher at the school is her teacher and that is great...they did a science experiment day one and dd loved it so she is keen to learn......
I volunteered at the school for the first 2 days....doing some book logging work..and will be back again next week for a few days....we really do underfund our public schools.....not only in the providing sufficient clerical type support but also in the maintenance area. Our school is on a huge block of land and we only get a grounds person 1 day a week......it takes the entire day to sit on the ride on mower and mow it! so how do all the other little bits and pieces get done?!!!
My internet has been playing up so it will not, Im afraid, be every day I get to get here and vent...oh well...
Planning day for our Guide Unit today with my co leader.....a very busy year ahead for us.....if we can survive first term!
