Tempus fugit

Where did the time go, the last 9 days seem to have vanished without trace and now the word I have been avoiding is looming larger on the horizon WORK!!!!!!! What it is with the powers that be that its not OK to give the kids extra homework, after all its CHRISTMAs but its OK to expect a full set of reports to be handed in on the first day of term. Still haven't managed to find the motivation to start them and time is running out. It didn't help that when I found the impetus I needed to go out into the cold and rain to buy a new cable for the lap top, and when I got home the moment had passed.
This Christmas has reminded me very much about relatives and why some shoudl be avoided at all costs, especially the ones that open their mouths first and think after the damage has been done. Sadly in this case the guilty party is my father who made the mistake of comparing my new partner to my ex. I am grateful that my partner managed to stay calm.
Well now its over and I have 2007 to look forward to the highlight of which will no doubt be our planned trip to Chile in April, the low despite myself will probably be the issuing of the decree nisi and the formal ending of my marriage.
I am hoping this blog will become the repository fro my reflections on teaching and the complex goings on in my personal life. But for now its off to try and make a start on the homework and travel vaccinations on Tuesday yipee Chile had better be worth it.
