yahoo! We are now living in our new house-new to us that is! The house itself is quite old but in good condition. The kids just love it and we have a working antenna and 2 working phone lines so I am wrapped! It has 3 bedrooms and is in a much quieter street too which is great. The only not so great thing is that it is a little smaller in area than the last place but that is not such a big deal. We only just moved in yesterday so the place is a total mess still and I can't find anything! That will keep me busy for the next few days!
Andrea I didn't get a chance to leave a comment on your blog- wow JiXiang is walking now! I will watch the video for sure! I had to laugh at her antics when you are teaching, she is such a cutie!

who, where, what am I????
Yikes, finally a chance to sit and take a few deep breaths. Today I did my last two exams for the year, so now I am on holiday for about 3 months! YES! I think I did ok, hope so anyway! I will find out in a few weeks. The last couple of weeks again have been crazy-studying, looking for a house, keeping up with the housework etc etc! I am looking forward to doing some satisfying reading!
I have found a house for us and we will be moving in a couple of weeks. NOT looking forward to the moving process- packing, moving, cleaning..... yuck! It has to be done though. The real estate where I am renting through now told me that since the house isn't selling after all (helllllooo) I could stay on for awhile without a lease if I wanted, I was like no frigging way!, there is no way I would stay without a lease! As soon as they eventually sold the house I would have to get out and too bad if it was in the middle of the school year! I said to them that I was looking and I will be telling them soon that I have found a house and so will be leaving. They are pretty good there but a little clueless sometimes!
The house has 3 bedrooms this time (only 2 where we are now) so Mika will finally get her own room, I will lose my office though as the new place doesn't have a sleep out but that is no biggy! It is still pretty old but in reasonable condition so I think it's ok-I didn't want to go up in rent so I only COULD get an old house but that's ok. It is in a much quieter street which is great and still close to school.
Conor's daycare was closed on Wednesday due to a burst water pipe, luckily I was just studying at home so I could have him there with me. It made studying a little less productive though. I felt sorry for the mums and dads who needed to get to work though, one of them took her son to work with her! She was a little frazzled the next morning.
Cody has yet another party tomorrow............ hopefully this is the last one for the year! It is a pool party so he should have lots of fun, hopefully the kids will be watched carefully as Cody is not a strong swimmer yet. Speaking of swimming, the kids have a 10 day block of swimming classes at school coming up and it will cost $60 each! Whatever happened to free education?!! I am happy to pay it though as they are going to be taught at a swimming centre with a max of 5 kids per class which means they will get a lot more benefit from the classes. Mika is quite a good swimmer now, she loves it too!
I have decided that next year I am going to continue with my original degree after all! After taking a good look at what the courses entail for next year I think they will be a lot more interesting. We actually will be taught HOW to teach which I think should have been the first things we did! I also will be going on prac. My attitude to teaching is that I will give it a go and hopefully it all goes well, if not I will have my second degree to fall back on. At least with teaching I will have a good chance of getting a job which is what is important!
