I have done all I could to come up with a new name for a new blog about family history but was unable to find a name that had not already been taken so decided to return to the old one and simply add on.
I have started adding in stories to the new and very much advanced Family Search site with recollections about my parents and grandfather Godfrey. Much more to be done but I feel incredibly happy when I am engaged in this work.
I hope all you children will add into this and I will place information in as it comes to mind and as my excitement allows about family history finds.
Past week. Monday I spent at home, a non pay day but a very needed recovery day after a harsh weekend. The sister missionaries came for dinner and were a delight to be with. much needed lift in spirits followed.
Tuesday was the usual full blown excess of classes and professional development followed by Wednesday. Now this day shines out as I felt a priesthood blessing kicked in, my humour followed and I learned that the need to vent is ok but my choice of words was not. A student accidentally landed a chair leg back onto my big toe at the junction between nail and toe. It hurt so much I thought I would throw up and walked out of the class, asked another teacher to take over and grabbed a ice pack from the staffroom freezer. I then vented and teachers ran to my aid and to my class. Well, some time later and with a throbbing toe I went back and after the class was dismissed spoke to the student and assured him I was ok and did not think it was deliberate. From there on it I made a joke about it and said I was not partial to any more Aboriginal Ninja attacks on my fat toes. My student finally smiled and we agreed to be careful around each other and our feet.
Wednesday afternoon was parent teacher night and it went well, I met some great parents and we formed a coalition of the willing in the need to get their children educated despite teenager angst at this.
Thursday a yoga class wiped any stress away followed by a great nights sleep. Friday and by lunch time I could feel the tiredness. Goy and her sister Niew went to the palmerston markets for dinner for all and I stayed at home alternating with washing, watering, reading and recovering.
Saturday and here I am, add in, follow and enjoy family.
