So today I&#8217;m going to post about only good things, my new years resolutions,  and stuff I&#8217;ve been thinking about.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly today has been a &#8220;nice&#8221; day. Nice because it wasn&#8217;t too stressful at work ( I avoided the dreaded one like the plague), My mom had the blonde kid after school as she hasn&#8217;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 &#8220;Guitar Hero&#8221; and a bottle of wine.<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t do that often enough anymore!<\/p>\n<p>Now to my resolutions:<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>OK, months. Well till the end of April to do it but it was done in 2006 so that&#8217;s an achievement. SO to this year I have doubled the target resolutions and have 2.<\/p>\n<p>#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.<\/p>\n<p>#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&#8217;t &#8220;actually&#8221; get around to inviting that many people over. I just presume they know they&#8217;re welcome and &#8220;expect&#8221; 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&#8230;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!<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;t get a lot out of helping others but i think I realised that it&#8217;s about time I did something for ME!!<\/p>\n<p>Talking of the school, things are moving along there. It was the end of the &#8220;Informal Consultation&#8221; 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!!!<\/p>\n<p>Saturday 20th we&#8217;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 &#8220;interactive&#8221; 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&#8217;m sure I&#8217;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!<\/p>\n<p>Oh my&#8230;&#8230; 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&#8217;ve had a day solely fuelled by caffeine and now I&#8217;m fit to drop.<\/p>\n<p> 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&#8230;.adieu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems I have nothing to say unless I&#8217;m moaning and what a sorry state of affairs this is.
