Sports photos

Well,the hockey photos didnt turn out too bad, so some of them are further on here. I am surprised because normally I am not too good with action pics. Had a bad few days at work, once again I was the only sister and I am getting a bit fed up with it. Not only that, but I am supposed to do student assessments, audits and hygiene audit, as well as the work of 2 people. How they expect me to do all that I dont know. Anyway, enough of the moaning.

Once again the Alpha course last night was great. I am really enjoying it, and getting so much out of it. Only 2 weeks to go until our camp. I am looking forward to it, but a bit nervous. Not sure why.

I went to gym this morning, stayed there and had coffee afterwards, after that I went to the mall, and then ran into Shirley, so had a coke with her! Now going to try and make a card, and then got to go and fetch B and take her to the doctors for a rash she has. Anyway, here are some pics.

Supposed to be a crafty day

Finally got down to do some cards, but only managed to do 1, which is drying at the moment, I guess one is better than nothing. Did also help Brenda with some beading, which she seemed quite keen on, and managed very nicely. I will try and post my card tomorrow. The hockey tournament was good too yesterday, although the weather was miserable. Brendas team played quite well, although in one game she let 2 goals through in the first 5 minutes. Fortunately she seemed to wake up after that! They all enjoyed it though. I took some pics, but havent had a chance to download them and not sure how they will turn out, since I am not good at action shots. I did go to churchthis morning, which was good since it was my first time going since I started the Alpha course. Got work tomorrow, and not looking forward to it. I have a couple of assessments to do with the students, so I hope we have babies for that. I always find it a bit stressful to do these assessments as some of them are a bit dense, and I am petrified that one of them will drop the baby. Fortunately no one has yet, I guess I should give them more credit!

Update

Phoned the AA today, and got the car sorted out, the fuse has gone, so he temporarily fixed it, and I have to get a new fuse, but at least it is going now. After that I went to the crescent and then Sharon came around this afternoon and had coffee with me. It was good to see her again. Brenda went to Taylin's this afternoon, and I fetched her from Seekers at 7pm. Gill is in the berg and sent me 2 pics of the snow, so I was quite jealous! Brenda would have loved that. Sharon was talking about maybe going away in October for a weekend, as it is her 40th birthday, so that should be fun, if I can get the money together. The story of my life!

My poor car

Had a disaster with my car yesterday! I forgot to turn the lights off in the morning when I parked it. Unfortunately the security guard never informed me, and neither did the person who sat with me at lunch and knew that my lights were on! Anyway, when I got to it in the evening it wouldnt start. I didnt have my phone with me, so I had to walk all the way back to the hospital and phone Dad. When he came he tried to jump start it, with no success, so he left it there, and then brought the battery home this morning to charge it. However, when he took moms battery up there, to try and bring the car home, it still wont start. So tomorrow I will have to try and get the AA in to fix it. I hope that it is okay, and doesnt cost me too much! In the meantime it is parked in the work car park, so at least I know it is fairly safe.
Had a busy day at work today, but at least it is over, and I am off for the weekend. I may work OT on Saturday night, but not sure about that. I am supposed to be meeting up with Sharon tomorrow night, but not sure about that if my car is not going. I guess it will save me some money. Got to go to church on Sunday too, as I havent been for a few weeks. brenda has a hockey tournament at school on Saturday too, so it could end up being a busy weekend.

Fantasy dream job

Something else I got from another site, what is your fantasy dream job? Well, mine is something that I always wanted to do when I was growing up. From the time I was 7 I wanted to be an archaelogist. I always wanted to learn about what had happened in the past, the more ancient the better. I was given an encyclopaedia of the bible, and used to spend hours pouring over the pictures and stories of what life was like in those days. I was fascinated by ancient Egypt, and mummies. There is a mummy in Durban Museum and that used to be my favourite part of the museum (still is, in fact) History was always my favourite subject at school. I used to fantasize about being out in the desert somewhere digging up ancient treasures. I was also fascinated by the story of Pompey, and used to love looking at my mums photos of when she visited. I am not sure what made me turn away from it, and go into nursing instead. Well, I know why I chose nursing but not what made me turn away from archaeology. Knowing what I know now I would definitely go for it. I am not unhappy with the way that my life turned out, and especially the fact that if I hadnt gone nursing I would have missed out on some wonderful friends, and most especially would probably never have had Brenda! I wouldnt miss out on her for the world. But, there is a part of me that will always wish that I had followed my dreams! As for whether I would take it up now, I would love to, but for now I dont think it would be practical. Brenda would have to give up school and go to work, lol, if I did that. Who knows, maybe I will win the lottery and start travelling all the digs in the world.............

Layout

I finally managed to complete another layout yesterday. I wanted to do one of Brenda in the rainbow group, but couldnt find the photos so I ended up printing one done on Sunday and using that. Then I made a big mistake and so had to add another 2 pics to cover it up! So, I am not really sure if I like it or not. Anyway, here it is. Otherwise I havent really done anything for the last 2 days. Wrote a couple of letters yesterday and read a bit. Brenda has a safari day at school tomorrow, and has to dress up as an animal! I am still not sure what I am going to do about that. I have been more worried about finding her tent which I eventually found up in the attic in a box. It really stinks, so is outside now being aired out. I just hope after this that the two girls who are supposed to bring the snacks do!I asked Brenda why she didnt just volunteer to bring snacks, she said they got in first and told her she had to bring the tent!

Tonight is my bookclub, and I am going to try and go to aquarobics first. Not really feeling too well though, as I woke up with a sore throat this morning, so I will have to see how I am feeling.

New challenge

Went to the Alpha course last night, and the talk was on reading your bible. Anyway, I got to thinking. How come I can read other books all day, and yet I battle to spend time reading my bible! So, if I can undertake to read the 101 books list, I can also undertake to read the bible. So, starting from the New Testament I plan to read through the Bible. I started off last night.

Otherwise, had another 2 very bad days at work, so plan on just relaxing for the next 2 days.
