10 things in my life right now

Back to school today! No, not sweet freedom for me, as a childless (atm) person, Back to School for me means back to work after 2 weeks of blissful, child free days...... So how does this event affect my top 10? Read on and find out.....

1. Listening
To my iPod through my car speakers! For my birthday recently, my parents gave me a wad of cold hard cash (well, a hundy anywasy!!) Instead of the practical, I splurged on a thingy majigy that you hook into your car cigarette lighter and hook your iPod into and your playlists play through your stereo! Love love LOVE it!!!
2. Eating
Chocolate. Enough said. Okay, not enough said! It is lovely. It is soothing. It is yummy. I heart chocolate.

3. Drinking
Coffee, made lovingly by hubby in his new stove top perculator thing. Smells beautiful as you walk in the house, tastes yummy yummy and warm inside.

4. Wearing
Slips. I always thought slips and petticoats were for Nannas and people in the 1920s. But a few weeks ago I was convinced to buy a strechy microfibre black full slip from Jane the Intimo consultant and all I can say is Oh  My    God!! It makes my dresses fit so much better and keeps me so warm. So comfy I even sleep in it.

5. Reading
Work emails. 2 weeks away from email, you have a backlog! Timetable changes, yard duty changes, meeting schedules, swimming notices, Union matters, booking confirmations for excursions......gah! I spent an hour today reading, printing and responding to emails. Hopefully it all calms down soon.

6. Weather
Has turned nasty. It was 9 degrees at work today and I had double yard duty. Thank God I never clean out my car-drobe remembered to put my coat in the car this morning otherwise I would be frozen stiff. Shame I left my Flaturnie at home (a word for my winter hat - it's a cross between a flapper hat, turban and beanie - super cute and super warm).

7. Wanting
Things to turn out okay. I have a problem at work - confidentiallity means I can't explain - but it could turn into a major shitstorm crisis if things don't improve. Day 1, Term 4 - all is okay. Now please please please Allah, God, Unversal Mother, Shiva, let it stay okay.

8. Feeling
Loved. Appreciated. Lonely. Upset in the tummy (due to questionable butter chicken last night).

9. Thinking
That I'm ready for the next challenge in my life. Now for hubby to be totally on board......

10. Enjoying
That I have the support of my leadership team at work. They are awesome!! Prin has come a long way in the  sense of humour and approachability departments. AssPrin is the reason for this, and she is lovely and she is just my hero :)

So, day 1 at school and a very work centric post hmmmmm. They say teaching is not a job as you don't have regular hours; it is not a career because there is no corporate ladder to climb. It is a vocation and a lifestyle choice. I can see why.
