It's Flooding

We had an awesome night last night. Went to Baz and Reedy's joint 30th Birthday. The kids had a ball and so did we. We are paying for it today though as the kids are so tired and have just lost the plot lol.
Anyway we woke up after watching Sunrise this morning and they said there was major flooding expected for Coraki and Ballina.
So we started freaking out. Anyway there is water up the road from us and in the cane fields behind us but I think the worst is expected to come tonight or tomorrow morning.
The river is filthy dirty with massive logs and debry everywhere. They have evacuated Cabbage Tree Island too which isn't far from us.
Fingers crossed everything will be cool.

Week over

Well my first week at work is over. It went suprisingly well. Only a few children each day and I feel like I am settling in already. Much more comfortable doing this job than my last. It's like second nature to me and I only have to keep the parents and children happy.
Family wise we've had a great week. Mia is playing up again at bed time after getting her so settled while I was on holidays [and her routine hasn't changed at all:(] I just don't know what her problem is other than she is a 2 year old with attitude ++++++.
Ella has been a treasure and oh so cute. She has lost her bottom left tooth and when she talks it makes an extra 's' sound and it's just adorable.
Off to enjoy my weekend before I go back to the daily grind.
Ciao

Happy New Year

And so another year is about to begin. What will it hold? Who knows? It's how I make use of the year that really matters.
As I embark on a new career, starting tomorrow, I am once again juggling my life as a wife, a Mum, a full time working employee, a friend, a daughter, a neighbour.
It's going to be tough, hard work and hopefully incredibly rewarding [one can only hope]. Here I am, my innocence shining through once again in complete denial that by some chance I may not enjoy my new job, or I may decide that teaching isn't for me.
I do know though that I am going to give it my best shot.
What else will come of the new year?
This year I quit my job of 8 years and only a few weeks later I lost one of the most important people in my life, My Pop. He was such a great Man. So great to talk to, listen to, and very wise. It broke my heart watching him so weak, in ICU in hospital as he was always such a strong man.
That is how I'll remember him.
My Nan was so strong too. And I have been lucky enough to spend the last week with her up here on holidays for Christmas. I was lucky enough to also have my brother come down also. My family Christmas was great!
Such a shame I can't say the same for DH's family Christmas which was spoilt by SIL:(
That's all I'll say about that for now though.
Until next time...................
