Book Review: Onside Out: Living With Demons A.A. May

51b2eSrvFHL__BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-v3-big,TopRight,0,-55_SX324_SY324_PIkin4,BottomRight,1,22_AA346_SH20_OU02_

I’m not one for reviews generally, I seem to have so much to write about on here that If I started that too, I would be on the computer forever!

However, I will always gladly support a friend, and fellow writer, and this book, Inside Out:Living With Demons by A.A.May is the true story of a friend of mine, a harrowing account of a very troubled childhood, and of her formative adult years. It’s part of a trilogy, the others haven’t been published yet.

Please, if you get a chance, click on here, and down load this heart wrenching recount of a very turbulent childhood. I was sat on the train this morning, reading it, and fought back tears, knowing her, and what she’d been through…

Inspiring Day!

I’ve been on the other side of the teachers desk today, as a student!
My shiny new stationary had its outing, and we boarded the train heading towards London for my first session of my Return To Teach course!
I was, honestly, more concerned about the travel, than the course!!! But I managed, via a fantastic, though late, high speed train!!
Arrived early, grabbed some lunch to eat at the break and headed in, as one of the first eager beavers signed up for the course.
And it was a fact filled, laughter fuelled, highly inspirational day! It made me feel so confident in myself, I feel I knew so much of what she was saying … Though there was so much for me to take away with me, new strategies to put into place, enough to instill confidence in me, that I CAN do it, I could, just possibly, be an inspiring, and motivating educator myself!
Roll on my placement, and the next two months!!!!
Now I am back on the train, on time this time, and heading home, with a bag full of books and information, a head brimming with ideas, and a mind buzzing with things I want to tell my head teacher!!! Just need to rescue my kids from after school club (or rescue the staff from my kids?!) And get to my in laws for dinner!
But I’m exhausted… And to be honest, what I’d love, what I’d really love, is my bed!!!!!
Hope you all had great days too!

Like A Boss! – Kids Logic Part 31

Do you ever have those days where something, a phrase, or even a song gets stuck in your head…?
The kids love watching Cartoon Network nowadays, and there is one programme, The Regular Show, that they watch loads.
At the moment they are advertising a Regular Show weekend special constantly, and tag line, which is repeated again and again, is the main character does [something] ‘like a boss!’ .
It’s called the Like A Boss weekend I think!
Anyway, I saw this advert as I was leaving home this morning, and all the way to school it was going around my head…

“Driving my car, like a Boss!” ,
“I’m opening the gate, like a Boss!“, “Putting my bags away, like a Boss!“…

You get my drift… Annoying as heck, but it just trips off the tongue!
We got in my classroom and I said “Like a Boss!” much to the amusement of my colleagues! I explained the origin and carried on with my preparations.
Lil Princess was with me, so we went off to her classroom to drop off her things.

Me: Walking down the corridor, like a Boss!
LP : Mummy! Stop it!
Me: What? Why?
LP: You’re embarrassing me!!

Embarrassing my child, like a Boss!!!!!

My 7 year old was embarrassed by me!
Success!
My efforts as a mother are not going to vain!!!!!
Like A Boss!!!!

Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge Week 42 – Love & Last

image

This week Ronovan’s haiku challenge is found here
The words ‘love’ and ‘last’…

Longevity of Love
How long does love last?
If you hold it in your heart
It will last forever

Read Between The Lines
Last time I told you
‘I like you’, I lied… I meant
I love to hate you

One Live
The last time I loved
Was the first time, you see, and
It’s perfect for me.

But I Smile Anyway...
