It s funny...My first Art class I teach is on Monday, and even if I'm super prepared( I have been doin this since 1997), I still wake up feeling nervous that someone is going to catch me out that I havn't done " my homework". When the class is going , it all just flows out of me and come s so naturally, but the angst that I have before hand...You would think I'm a complete novice or charlatan, who is faking a fine art degree.
Talking about homework...When you finish school, varsity, post grad etc. you think" well now I'm done, no more homework , studying etc.".
WELL....If you have kids( and mine is in grade 2)..You do it ALL over again. I'v just finished my home work today with him. 8+1=9, 1+8=9, 9-8=1, 9-1=8.......AAAAHHHHHHH. I have no patience with my own flesh and blood, and yet have oodles of the stuff with strangers...Whats wrong with me.? I am reading Kipper and the Giant at the moment....PLEASE save me. I wish I could read it for him, so it could be finished faster.
(I'm going to write to the teacher and tell her" I've passed grade 2 a LONG time ago, do I REALLY have to do this??????)
But , I through all this, I am still vaguely responsible, so I will plod on through the Grade 2 syllabus AGAIN. but this definately has to be one of the BIG sacrifices a mother makes for her kids.

Surviving the Red wine Hangover
I've really been good lately and avoided the ubiqious Red Wine Hangover for a few months. Partly because I'm trying to loose weight and partly because I just can't do hangovers any more, BUT sometimes( like last night) Red wine just tastes too good, and down i fall into pit of" lifes a jol, you only live once, I'm having so much fun, I don't care what tomorrow brings".....Well this morning I DO care. ( added to this I only slept for an hour, as we only went to bed at 2 : 30am, and I didn't drink enough to pass out, but drank too much that it acted as a stimulant)
But here are my tips to survive:
1. Have a shower...alchohol seeps out of your pores...I already feel 10% better
2. Have breakfast...something healthy like fruit, yogurt etc
3. Have a mid morning snack....my favourite: Toast with butter, Bovril and cheese....mmmmmmm I feel 20% better
4. Have an afternoon nap...Nothing better...and I feel 50% better
]6. and unfortunately the rest on the day, you just have to go with that 50%, cos there aint nothing on earth thats gonna take that hang from hell completely away!!!!
