Know what you mean about a manic week.....some was school....some was Nancy's bad spaying experience!
Glad you are having a relaxing (if you can ever get relaxed with a mad cocker in the house!!) weeked with Bailey. We are havind a quiet one, we can't go out on any long romps what with Nancy having stitches.....oh well it saves grooming mounds of dirt out of their coats!!
I looooove teaching the little ones! They are bloody hard work mind you!! I'm actually teaching back at my old Primary school! I have been there for nearly 4 years now......it's in Gravesend. What about you, where do you teach? Although I have Reception like I mentioned before the work they are expected to do is more like Yr1/Yr2 work........which can be bloody hard going.......some kids are just not ready to read and write when they are 4/5/6.......and I'm not going to force it....they'll only end up hating school in the long run if I do......It can be quite hard to get the happy medium between the work and play.
I'm lucky because I live fairly close to where I work, so I can pop home to see the dogs at lunch time, sometimes they are like a physciatrist when I come home from a manic morning, I moan they listen!!
I don't know if I can see myself teaching the little ones for ever, my opposite class teacher is 65, I don't know how she copes, some days they drive me insane........let alone adding the age thing to it! By the time I'm 65 I want to have been breeding and showing cockers for 20 years and have got Best In Show at Crufts!! Tee Hee I can dream!!!!!!!!!!!
(My friends all think I'm losing the plot going all doggy on them!!) I better hurry up because my two are pets not show dogs!! Mind you I doubt I'd be able to part with any puppies! Still have a few years yet I'm only 26! Will have to talk my OH into getting another.....like I said he wants the next one to be a working cocker, like your Bailey.
Anyway I'm rambaling it's a bad habit of mine! I spend so long talking to children when I actually start talking to an adult I can't stop!!!!!!!!!!!
Have just realised we are breaking up on the 16th Dec so I only have 6 weeks!!!!Whoooopppppeeeeee!! Are you breaking up on a Monday then?!?!?
