It seems I have nothing to say unless I’m moaning and what a sorry state of affairs this is. So today I’m going to post about only good things, my new years resolutions, and stuff I’ve been thinking about.

Firstly today has been a “nice” day. Nice because it wasn’t too stressful at work ( I avoided the dreaded one like the plague), My mom had the blonde kid after school as she hasn’t seen him since Christmas, So I came hope to an empty house and sat in the peace and quiet for a couple of hours until, Al came over for something to eat. He has only just left after plenty of pizza, many rounds of “Guitar Hero” and a bottle of wine.

We don’t do that often enough anymore!

Now to my resolutions:

Firstly YAY to me for last years resolution, It was to quit smoking and I did it. So what if it took me a couple of weeks.

OK, months. Well till the end of April to do it but it was done in 2006 so that’s an achievement. SO to this year I have doubled the target resolutions and have 2.

#1 I must must must find a new job!! Hopefully this will be done quicker than quitting smoking last year for all the reasons in my last post, But we wont go there.

#2 it is to make more time for people, I seem to spend a lot of time complaining that nobody ever comes to my house to visit me when with hindsight I don’t “actually” get around to inviting that many people over. I just presume they know they’re welcome and “expect” them to drop by. Well no more, by the end of January I will have purchased a new dining table and invites shall be sent out a plenty…just god help poor James if too many of them get turned down I do my own head in whining sometimes yet he just sits there and lets me!

I suppose really both my resolutions are about me being more pro-active, I really need to start looking out for myself with the zest I’ve thrown into other things, like work and the school for example. Only this time I get to benefit from it. Its not that I don’t get a lot out of helping others but i think I realised that it’s about time I did something for ME!!

Talking of the school, things are moving along there. It was the end of the “Informal Consultation” period last week, and the governing body have sent a report comprising of all the errors in the councils proposal back to them and have formally asked one of the other schools to enter into a federation with us, Good news if they accept because no schools will have to close then!!!

Saturday 20th we’re still having the rally, which I know the kids are looking forward to, I really hope we have a good turn out. I hope just because the most “interactive” stage is over (the bit where we get to have our say) that people will still understand the need more than ever now for a united front and a show of strength and support. this is where the decision making process starts in earnest!! However I’m sure I’ll of pictures of students, teachers and parents alike all making fools of themselves afterwards. After all this is supposed to be about the kids so it should be a fun day!

Oh my…… I have just glanced at the clock and my brain has just screamed HOW AM I STILL AWAKE, after a serious bout of insomnia last night I’ve had a day solely fuelled by caffeine and now I’m fit to drop.

I have no doubt that I will need to revisit and edit these ramblings of a very tired but quite content 26 year old tomorrow, but for now….adieu.
