Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “second.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
Hmm…Second… Just a second, let me think… what can I write?
Now that’s a phrase I seem to use an awful lot “Just a second” or “One sec“!
But really, is that how long I am really expecting someone to wait…? I know, you know, they know, nothing ever takes a second, but I still say it. And now my kids are getting to that cocky age, where they will throw it back at me, and moan when I don;t really take a second! Cheeky monkeys!
On the topic of Second, Lil Princess had her Punjabi School sports day today, and her team came second! ( She didn’t pass the end of year exam, but to be honest I wasn’t expecting her to. She hated it, and I am so proud that she stuck it out for a whole year! This mummy won’t be forcing her to go back in September!)
Oh, and this is my second post so far this evening!
Have a great day/night!

Sue’s amazing Photo prompt this week.
In this photo, I saw two very different halves of the same picture, and it reminded me of the fact that life is a series of opposites, and those opposites often complement each other, like Yin and Yang!
One step at a time
Drawing closer to safety
Keep your mind focussed
On one side you feel danger
On the other calmness reignsYet both are required
To retain life’s harmony
Yin and Yang completesRitu 2016
One more sleep!

Well that’s it….
One more day then I’ll officially have finished my first full academic year as a teacher!
It’s been a colourful year…
Many ups and downs. From a class that was really hard work, to a team who were possibly slightly resistant to change. From inspectors to high expectations … but I got there!
It was, I quote, “a baptism of fire” but I’m still here to tell them tale!
A smile on my face every day helped get through, and supportive people around me.
I look forward to the summer holidays. No,I won’t forget school totally. I’ll still need to go in. Classrooms don’t get themselves ready! But only for a couple of days!
But I feel positive. I feel GOOD!
And whatever September brings, BRING IT ON!!! I’ll be ready!
In the meantime I can spent quality time with my family and my blogily!
R and R the way I like it!
‘Til tomorrow Peeps!
Wowzer!

I rarely look at my stats anymore. Blogging is a joy for me nowadays, rather than a number crunching pressure. But a few minutes ago I decided to have a little look at them, and I saw this…
I hit over 100,000 views! That’s a bit mad! Wow!!!
