so glad it's nearly the weekend...

What a week! Didn't finish work til nearly 6pm tonight. We've slightly (ok, MAJORLY) changed our outlook on programming within our year 5 team, including a lot more of our own regular standardised assessment items etc and with the extra change over to incorporating ELA's (from the government, we're actually not 'required' to have it included yet, but we've turned into crazy people lately) it's been a lengthy process this term. We're still not finished (well, can I be naughty and boast and say I am finished my part??!)...since I'm the fussy one (with formatting etc) I've done some extra work on other people's programs too :) lol, it feels good but I'm exhausted and don't want to go ANYWHERE near work til next thurs morning!!

So Aaron's gone off to men's camp this weekend. Poor guy came down with a cold during the week and isn't feeling all that great but I think he'll end up having a good time away (altho I'll miss him heaps, as I always do...). Malakai woke up with a pretty revolting case of conjunctivitis today and isn't feeling great either!! I feel a little like Aaron's tried to be generous and share his cold with me but am really wanting to avoid that :( I think we'll be having a quiet weekend here.

Thank God for mum, she's been such a help this week while I've been crazy busy with work. Thanks Mum :)

Am thinking about our 'excursion' for next week...haven't decided yet. Has to be basically free cause we've tightened the budget belt lately (love that rising cost of living lol) perhaps a visit to the library for story time? or the national museum...I love that about Canberra, there really are a lot of options for relatively cheap outings.

I think I'll go head off to bed! ha ha...pretty funny when going to bed at 8.30 is so very appealing
