Catching up.

It's been a rather busy couple of weeks and as of this week things will change in our household. Last week I had my interview and start my voluntary job on Tuesday to be a TA in a small village school. I'm doing this to work towards a diploma I start in February so it's all change. I'm doing volunteering because I can fit it around my family as that was really important to me to make sure what I do doesn't mean I have to rely on others to look after my children. In the long term I hope to beable to earn some money but at the moment the way it will work will fit in fine with us.

Today we took the children to Duxford and I was very impressed with the imperial war museum we went on a concord and various other planes and saw  many war planes along with land warfare exhibitions. The children enjoyed it throughly and it's something we would love to go back again and visit. 

I took so many pictures but not all turned out ok.

This week as I'm back to "work" it's now military organisation I'm only doing 3 days but those days at home have been planned so I don't get behind. Tomorrow is ironing baking and housework and groceries are being delivered. All meals are planned as well as lunches I'm hoping it will work like clockwork so it still gives me UK e to enjoy the weekends with the family.

Things happen for a reason

Two posts in as many days. 

It's been a rather damp day in Suffolk this morning was spent watching my Son play football the hubby was ref. This afternoon was spent going for a walk and I took this lovely picture of the castle in our home town. 

Well as my post suggests I belive in everything happens for a reason. Most of you who read my blog will know I was bought up in foster care some people thinks it was because my family couldn't cope with me mainly because I was a naughty or delinquent. Very few really give it some thought and make judgements without knowing the facts for those who are wondering though it's not really relevant it was because my mum put me in dangerous and unsafe situations. Why am I bringing this up well it links to my post from yesterday in which I said I was going back to be a student and to study. Well why now? 

Why didn't I do it when I left school maybe you're thinking I didn't get the grades I was in care I must be stupid. (Though I'm sure most of you would never think like that) but that's the type of things I have come up against all my life. I had to fight to do A levels as when you hit 16 they really want you out of the system I fought hard and won I proved everyone wrong and gained very good A levels but this is where my dreams came stuck. I really wanted to be a PE teacher had a place secured at uni but no support as to getting there or where I would go in the holidays. Scared and confused I turned it down got a job well 3 in fact to survive. I don't regret anything that happened as I would never have met my husband and never would have had my two children. Yes I might have met someone else ect but that's not the point.  I still get comments from old school friends or acquaintances like I've done well considering or I never thought you would end up like you have. A bit patronising but I'm sure they mean well but I'm no diffrent to anyone else. ( we own our home my husband works hard so I can stay at home with the children ect)  So now I'm ready to embark on my dream and will work my way to be a teacher. Which I'm very excited about.

Apologies for the post and I hope I haven't offended anyone or you think I'm talking about my readers I'm not just people who I have come in contact in my life.

I'm still about

There is no real reason for the lack of posts except probably pure laziness. I could use the excuse that I have been busy with Beavers and the Remeberance parade or the fact I'm deciding about my future and might be returning to be a student. It could be that illness struck the house and it could also be I decided to redecorate my bedroom. Though it's probably a concoction of all the things so to all you lovely people who read my posts I'm sorry and will try and post more.

As you can see I have been rather busy lately training and running Beaver Scouts which I love this has made me have a hard think about what I would like to do and I am in the process of returning to study with the view of working in the classroom I have a interview in a couple of weeks at first it will be voluntary but hopefully in the future will lead to a paid placement. The course I wish to do is distant learning but does require a placement in a school. I have already been turned down for the children's school even though I regularly volunteer but they are only excepting students where they gain some government financial help. Maybe it's best I go to a school where I don't really know the parents and my own children don't attend. 

It's been a really grey dull day in Suffolk today and far to wet to get down to the allotment but hoping to go this weekend just have a little bit left to dig over before winter and hopefully can put beds in to make it a bit neater and organised.

Even though I haven't been posting I have made time to read everyone's else's blogs I follow it's always nice to hear what people are up to. 

Till the next time.
