That time of year


Hot Air Ballooning across the Yarra Valley in March 2006

Hello everyone, well since my 1 clean day... zilch clean days :(((

I am pathetic!

Anyway, tis the time of the year when everyone in my class buy's me chocolate as a thank-you gift. Please... NO CHOCOLATE... but I can't say that can I? It would be rude, so I try to make a joke out of it with my Prep class, 'It will make Miss Rippon fat!' as I grab my belly. They laugh and think it's a great joke :) LOL. I wish they'd all put in and get me a gift voucher at Myer or something.

I have done all the Chrissy shopping, OMG how expensive. It's all wrapped and I don't even have kids to make it that expensive!

Last weekend was the last weekend at home for 4 weeks, heres the itinery...

Next weekend - To Leeton for Kane's Dad's Xmas party
Xmas weekend - To Bendigo for Kane's Mum's Xmas Day
New Years Eve - Back to Leeton for Kane's Brothers Engagement Party
3rd Jan - Leave from Griffith Airport to Sydney for job interview for teaching OS
6th - Back to Griffith Airport (Did you know it is cheaper to fly from Griffith-Sydney return than from Albury or Melbourne? And we'll be only 50km from Griffith for Engagement Party anyway)

Busy hey?

I found out that I have Prep again next year, and my class is just gorgeous. 10 girls and 9 boys and they can all write their name which is nice. I am so ready to handball my current class. They are really ready to go to their next teacher!!!! They are loud, rude, nasty to each other, (yeah, 5 year olds can be really nasty) and talk about wingeing and dobing!!!! Over them, big time! I have to admit though they have been a really tough bunch of kids, the chemistry was way off with my group this year.

So bring on next Thursday at 2.00pm , 5 weeks of holidays, lovely.

If I don't write for a while Merry Xmas and have a safe and happy New Year.
