Hooray for Weekends!

I know it’s only Tuesday, but I am so ready for this weekend. My first weekend with pay since I’ve been back in Oz!

I booked tickets to see the Comedy Festival Roadshow on Saturday night with Miss Jones, we are going to the final show which means 1) It will be tops since all the comedians go and get pissed afterward (if they aren’t already smashed) 2) It’s late, so we can go be grown ups and have beautiful cocktails after the show. Plus, yay, I love getting dressed to go out. With any luck, we’ll go to The Bowery, I’ve not been there since I’ve been back in Oz and I am most excited, it’s the best place to drink in Brisbane (in my opinion, if you like excellent cocktails, places to sit and non-sticky floors in your drinking establishments).

This whole working deal is working out pretty tops. The kids are getting used to the way I do things (militant about manners and pretty unforgiving when it comes to not sitting and listening during carpet time), I’ve started a thinking cushion in the back of the room and it’s been having a fair work out but they seem to be getting it and controlling their own behaviour before they need to go to the cushion which is the ultimate goal. I have my favourites and the ones I would happily leave in the carpark if I was allowed but overall they are a pretty reasonable bunch of people to work with. I got a new student today and he was an epic win at being the new kid. No tears, no fuss, just straight into playing, mixing with the other kids and just generally being a very pleasant little person, it was great. We’ve been doing lots of craft and my room is starting to look like it sees children often rather than the oversized store room than it previously resembled.

Yeah, this is a bit of a kid post, sorry guys. Right now I am off to laminate some paintings, print some photos and generally get my shit together, I finally have met all the kids and have a fair idea of how shit works so now it’s time to get into making the magic happen. I was hoping to have a giant spiderweb spun across the back wall by tomorrow morning but I forgot to buy yarn when I was at the shops, looks like our spiders will be homeless for another night.
