I don’t think there is much more to add to this…

We are what we make ourselves. Be positive from the offset… It is what mouldy you throughout. If you are positive inside, even the down sides of life have a little light shining through!

Shine on Peeps!

Bricking it!

I’ve spent a fair few hours this week on work related stuff…

Yes, I know it’s the weekend, but still, needs must.

Alongside the cleaning, the grocery shopping, the Mum’s taxi service to various clubs, the cooking, the homework, the blogging, I have been nervously planning.

Nervously planning for my first every observation as a teacher. I really am bricking it!

On Wednesday my co-teacher and I will be being watched, and then we will be given a judgement on our teaching, with constructive feedback. I know my observer, she was the teacher I worked with last year, and she is always so positive with regards to me and my abilities. In fact she was one of my biggest supporters when I went for this job.

But I am so scared… Scared that I won’t live up to her expectations.

I’ve spent hours completing plans that show what we are doing and why… Now I just need the kids to comply! It’s on Wednesday, first thing in the morning… and hopefully a good omen, it’s our wedding anniversary the same day.

Wish me luck peeps!

Let’s build a chain of love!

You know what? I think it’s time to mingle again. How about we get together and party a little bit? Come over and meet some other bloggers, maybe bring a friend as well? I love meeting new people, so share the news.

It’s easy:

Leave the link to your blog in the comment, maybe with a short description of what your blog is all about. You can link to your About page or to your home page or to a post you particularly like.
Share one or more links to blogs you enjoy reading as well and maybe let them know that you did and invite them to come over and join in.
The more the merrier. So how about you share this post on your blog as well?
It’s all about being polite here as well, so go ahead, shake some hands and check out the links that have…
