New Nephew!

Today I got a new nephew - He is apparently small and perfect in every way!

Tomorrow I hope to go and cuddle this tiny new person.

Congrats Ant and Chrissie on the arrival of Oscar!

I finally finished my new dress for work this week and wore it in on Thursday - It is this pattern - http://www.colettepatterns.com/shop/crepe I made it in a dusky plum fabric with a creamy polka dot on it - with contrasting pockets and belt. I got a lot of positive feed back about it - both from my reception staff colleagues and one of the doctors - no one believed that I'd knocked it up myself. I think it may be the perfect pattern - I already have plans for a more casual summery one. :)

We got an email today that pleased me - the Aspergers peeps are speeding it all up - we will be seen sooner than anticipated.

And this coming week is Half-Term - roll on baking, gardening and summer fun times (dependant on weather - as it's currently COLD and I have the heating on in nearly June!

Friday Fun Times

Today I was supposed to go and speak to the practise manager - but he didn't come and ask me to meet. I am hoping this is a good thing! The Senior partner where I am was chatty and lovely today - we talked about music, skirts and clothes and cake. :) I took Jammy Donut Muffins to work - sucking up to teacher!!

The Boy had a good day at school. Did all he was asked and complied. Why can't he do that everyday? D had her Raindrop assembly at school today too, G went along with Noo. She got it for always being happy and cheerful and a sheer joy to teach. It's lovely. :)

Tomorrow is another day - D has ballet and then we are cleaning house.

Rant!

Oh this week how well you were going - and now - Thursday - You suddenly suck!

The eldest has been BAD at school again. We don't have a definitive diagnosis so we can't get serious help with him and it's becoming an issue at home and school - we can't get him to take care about his hygiene 0r responsibility for anything.

Any ideas would be great!

And tomorrow I get together with the practise manager to see if he still wants to employ me.

Today on a good note though, I wore my Colette Crepe dress to work and all the ladies LOVED it.

Wednesday Evening

I love Wednesday almost as much as I love Tuesday.

It's the evening of stretching and dancing with the grown ups - it's fun and games and laughter.

Though on the negative side the Boy has been naughty at school - No homework being done - it is frustrating for me to not know if there is anything wrong with him or if he is just badly behaved - If it's the former then I'd almost rather not know - if it's the latter then a stricter parenting is needed.

Ho hum - tomorrow is another day,

I Heart Ballet!

Every Tuesday I wake up and remember just why I love Tuesday!

Hello Ballet-time! I feel very fortunate to be able to spend several hours a week doing something I love so much. I really enjoy the challenges of a whole bunch of little girls who want to be ballerinas!

But I am also looking forward to Half-Term next week - peace and quiets and calms and chilled!

Yay for Tuesday!

Mondayitis

Today has been good in the main.

Work was easy and calm and I got told I looked very smart! This is a good thing! And I got put onto the rota for September for a Saturday shift so they aren't planning on firing me this week.

Also I just got the reports for the exam pupils - they were very good in the technique department :) need to work on that musicality though!!

I have also just through the powerful medium of the interweb applied for Disability Living Allowance for D - She has permanant hearing loss in both ears and I have been told I should so I have.

More negativly - I can't get the sewing machine to sew properly. :(

Sunday

Today feels like a busy and positive sort of day - I have laundry on the line already - the big boys are out selling junk at the car boot sale, there is a tiny bit of washing up to do, and Noo is playing beautifully with his toys. :)

Nanny came by yesterday to garden and we had some fun times - we have planted potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries, green beans, peas, cauliflowers, salad, carrots, radishes and spring onions (I think that is it!) and all I have to do is keep on top of it! The garden is starting to resemble a garden, the kids section in the middle is tidy and cleaned up and Nanny and Grandad are doing a great job.

G and S are car-booting a whole bunch of stuff they neither want or need anymore - at 7.30am they'd already made a bunch of cash. Hurrah!

And I shall try and get a photo uploaded of my new dress I have made for work (possibly) - It's Colettes Crepe pattern, and I LOVE it!

First results!

I have been absent from here for a long old while - :) but since then much has changed...

But more importantly - My first set of Primary ballet pupils have taken and passed their exam!
G got 81 - distinction as did L and M got 77 - merit. I am really proud of them and all their hard work.

In other news - I have changed jobs, G changed work arrangements, S has been initially diagnosed with Aspergers, D was given hearing aids for xmas, and my new boss accused me of being Bohemian - I can't win! :)

Time to get focused my self Lady H!!
