Being faithful
YAY!! I am keeping my resolution to be faithful to this blog! Had a busy but rewarding day today. I was babysitting, which I love doing. Listened to some very interesting sermons in the evening, and am now sitting down doing some fun internet stuff. Next week is the Man From Snowy River Festival is next week. Mum and Dad are taking off to go on their cruise on Friday. They will be gone for 10 days. On Saturday is the Farmers Market. Grandma will be staying with us for that, and then she is taking us down to our other Grandparents' place where we will all spend Easter. Grandma will bring us home again then we have a couple of quite days before our friends are coming up (YAY!!!)

After an entire school term of living in the hut, we are finally moving into the house! WooHoo! I have a room of my own, which I love! I painted it a lovely pale blue. It looks so pretty. So far I haven't got much furniture in there, because it is all in stroage in the shed. I can't wait to have everything in its place and a place for everything.
Well it is the last week of term. The holidays start this weekend. I will be extremely busy, as Mum and Dad are going on a cruise for ten days. We kids are getting left here all by ourselves!!! :D :D :D It is really exciting! Grandma will come up and help us run ur stall at the farmers market, which will be really good. Hope to get a lot of horse riding done. I am also determined to stay faithful at this blog! I really want to get back into it, but I just keep forgetting, or running out of time.
Anyway, better go and get some work done!

Busy, Busy, Busy
One of these days I am going to get serious about this blog. I enjoy blogging, but time just seems to run away...
Well, I had a rough "start of year". Things in the classroom were a bit crazy at first, but it is gradually settling down. I am enjoying myself. I love the kids and the teacher I work with is really good. I love my job!
Been sick again. Hoping to find out what is at the bottom of all my illnesses. Going to the doctor tomorrow.
Watched "Charlie and Boots" tonight. Not a bad movie! :) Nice story! Beautiful scenery. I didn't like the scnerey much in "Australia" But "Charlie and Boots" was really good.

Long time, No see.
Once again, a very long time since I last posted anything. Since posting last, I completed Ausan 1, (a sign language course) almost finished a Braille course, my horse ran through the fence, and I'm getting sick again!
We had 2 great weekends in Melbourne while doing the Auslan course. Sarah did it with me, so she came down both weekends, and Kath came down on the second weekend. On the second weekend we allwed ourselves an extra day to go shopping. Aunty Lynne dropped us at Chadstone shopping centre in the morning, and we spent a few hours in there. That place is phenomonal! I have never seen anything so huge! Miles upon miles of clothes shops. We picked up some linen sets at a really good price in Laura Ashley, I almost fell over in David Jones. We walked in, and I discovered the hard way that those floors are really slippery. My shoes don't have very good grip so I slid straight into Sarah, righted myself, and then slid again.
After Chadstone, Aunty Lynne took us to the Direct Factory Outlets (DFOs). That was fun! There were so many nice clothes there that were all really well priced.
All in all, we had a wonderful time in Melbourne, figured out the public transport system, and it was great to see Aunty Lynne and Uncle Bob again.
I am almost finished my Braille course, which has cost me a great deal of grief. I enjoy Brailling, but this course has been tough, and I fell a long way behind.
My horse, Luka, ran through a fence a week ago. She had escaped into the driveway, and I had gone to get her in again just as the cows were hunted up past her. I watched her freak out as the cows closed in on her, bolt down the road, through the fence into the ponies' paddock, and then panic some more as she realised there was a wire stuck around her front right leg. She ran back through the fence, shook the wire loose, and then settled enough for Mum to go up to her while I ran back to the house for her halter. We called Luka's old friend he vet, who came out and bandaged her leg up. She had also scratched her nose pretty bad, but that was alright.
Also went on a school excursion to the Ettamogah Sanctuary (now called Oz-e wildlife) with the Preps, 1's and 2's. I had a shocking headache all day, but still had lots of fun! We began the day by watching the peguins get fed, then wandered around to look at some unsociable emus, the more friendly deer, some dingos, an extremely playful wombat, some birds, and a few lizards. After Lunch we looked patted a snake, a blue tongue lizard, a shingleback lizard, and a bearded dragon. We then saw the koalas getting fed, which was really interesting. Finally we fed the kangaroos. Everyone loved this part! A couple of the roos had joeys. I let some of the kids take my camera, and they got some amazing photos! It was a great day.
Kath was shortlisted in the Elyne Mitchel Rural Womens writing award. We went to the presentation, where she won the door prize! We are all really proud of her for her effort.
Some pics:

It has been about three months since I blogged last. It is now really cold! We didn't end up doing anything for my 18th. We went down to Great-Grandpa's 90th, and then saw the other side of the family on Mother's day. I was really tired and stressed, and glad that we kept it quiet. On the Wednesday, when my B'day was, Mum and Grandma bought cupcakes into the school for recess. The Bursar also mad a really nicce cake for me as well. It was a good day. I went out for lunch with the teacher I work with, and we had a nice time.
We have friends staying in our house at Cudgewa, and every week we go back there to get togther with them and another family that comes up. I take the younger kids and do a "Sunday School" type lesson with them. I have been teaching them sign language, which they love! I love teaching them, despite not being very good at signing! They are a bright bunch of kids and they learn so quickly.
