Tour De Casula!

Hi all!
This blogging is getting to be a habit! The Tour De France is all the rage in our house as the tour winds into its second week. We are glued to the T.V at 6 o'clock everynight to enjoy the next stage. We also keenly follow the map to see if we have visited any of the towns along the way. Andrew is riding in his own tour, TOUR DE CASULA. One 4 km lap around the local roads and he has got his time down to 8 minutes. Today was an eventful day with a day out on an excursion with my class. The students all enjoyed themselves and we arrived exhausted back at school. Parent/Teacher interviews are coming up next week. I am looking forward to speaking to all the parents, although not the long cold night in my classroom. Better head off to bed for some rest and relaxation. See ya!

The Exploding Woman!

Andrew has just reminded me that I am now 33 1/2 weeks pregnant. Although this fact is hard to ignore when you feel like the exploding woman! Its good to be back at school and busy planning this terms program. My students are very excited about an excursion we are going on tomorrow. The Wollindilly Heritage centre plans excursions based around old fashion tasks once normal within a household. The students have to clean clothes with a wash board and attend an old fashion school etc. One of my students was keen on giving me a quick quiz from a book he found in our class library. He was following me around trying to find a question that I couldn't answer. His first question "What is the most popular sport in the world?" was an easy one, considering the world cup. Secondly, " How many months does it take to have a baby?" well I clearly was counting down the answer to that one! At this stage he was quite sure that teachers knew the answers to everything! He was about to be disappointed or should I say delighted. "Is the earth completely round?" And I said" yes"! Well, he was quick to tell me the earth was slightly flat at the north pole and the south pole. So much for knowing everything! Well I better sign off and do some serious work for a Wednesday night. Chow!

Sunday Musings

This is becoming a bit of a habit as I learn to manuver my way round the blogspot layout. The morning started with a late rising (10am) and a leisurely chat over breaky. This is the last day of holidays, tomorrow it is back to the maddening pace. Although this does not sound appealing it should give benefits of a better nights sleep as exhaustion can cover many an ache and pain. There is a lot to do today like: a writing program, washing clothes, marking books, cleaning out the fridge and some other things I haven't thought of yet. I doubt many of them will get done as I am very busy relaxing on my last day! The morning started quietly and was raised to a new level when Andrew proceeded to tell me he had gotten a pass for his subject (just viewed over his uni site). At first I did not believe him, for he rarely tells the truth. So I went to have a look for myself. Sure enough after figuring out what all the letters stood for ( different from my uni days) I finally figured out he'd gotten an HD! This has given a high to the day with congratulations all round (every hour or so!) Legs Eleven is to blame for Andrews diminishing wardrobe as I have now taken to wearing his tracksuit pants. Here is another photo of Legs Eleven, this time a girl. Enjoy!

Regularly Irregular

Clearly time to Blog!
On a quiet, rainy Sabbath day I am finally starting my first blog. This will be a shared blog page between Andrew and myself. It will be clear who is blogging, as my blogs will be straight to the point and rather emotive and Andrew's blogs will be creatively twisted and cause you to chuckle. Andrew and I have been having a continuing disagreement about what week of pregnancy I am in. I have told him quite clearly that this is week 32 and next week will be week 33. He is sure that I am into my 33rd week already. Against this pointless agrument I am growing larger by the day and have now taken to sitting bolt up right in bed to sleep. Although in the night I do tend to sink into a more lateral position, only to awake and drag myelf upright for confort reasons. Legs Eleven (baby in womb) is still insisting on lying slightly side ways. But at this stage there is no hurry to turn around to the head down position. Blog ya later
