fancy seeing you here...........

Well yes it has been a while only about 6 months, but who's counting. So I shouldn't really be writing this at the moment. You see It's my last week of winter term at uni and I have heaps to do, I mean HEAPS. So as you can imagine I manage to find lots of other things to do adding to my procrastination. Oops.
On a more positive note, I was listening to a lecture today for the unit I'm currently doing 'Responding to individual needs in education' and something that immediately caught my attention was when the lecturer spoke about writing, the need to write, to enjoy writing, to write for an audience, how all of these things can help to make you a better teacher. Sound familiar? To me it did, it was these comments last year that gave me the idea to write a blog in the first place. I know that I had planned on updating this much more frequently, unfortunately (or not) life seems to get in the way of the best laid plans. I think the reason I had actually left it soooooooo very long was because I was scared, nervous, guilty. I felt bad for being slack, for not being able to update a blog on a regular basis. I read a few blogs, (not that many at the moment) and they are so well written, so interesting, full of laughter, fun and inspiration - I think I felt that I had to compete and well I fell well and truly short! So I have now decided to stop being such a sooky schoolgirl, and get over myself. As how I view myself, analysing all my words, thoughts, ideas etc might be important to me, no body else actually gives 2 hoots! So I've decided to write this for the sake of writing and maybe a little procrastination. Also a little bit of a journal so that I can look back and remember not only what the heck was going through my head, but also what we, all 7 of us were doing, funny things the kids say, exciting and not so exciting adventures. Also as a way of sharing with friends and family around the world. So there we go, back to blogging.... I hope.
So a quick recap of the last 6 months:
*Uni semester 1 = done! (including prac which I loved!)
* Birthday dinner and dancing = lots of fun!
*Michelle Bridges 12wbt = 18kgs lost! (still a fair amount to go though)
* Eli's first birthday = Dinosaur party
* Girls chill out night = fancy penthouse apartment Awesome!
* Brindabella Womens Group 2011 Womens gathering = great day
* Stopped Breastfeeding = kinda sad
* Big trip to New York City = no children, a little strange but amazing adventure
* Back to reality
* Uni winter term = Sooooo Hectic
* School holidays = Harry potter deathly holidays part 2 midnight screening!!!!!!

That's about it!
