Food art...

Been enjoying getting creative in the kitchen lately! Being on school holidays I feel like I have a bit more time to experiment with things! My little ASDer is loving it in a " my mum's a dork" kind of way!

Truth?

 Today I had an interesting thought - why are teachers expected to be emotional punching bags? I had a student tell me that he was only telling the truth. His way of justifying his rude behaviour. I told him that his opinion was neither asked for nor warranted. He argued that truth telling was the right way to be. I told him I doubt it as I would receive phone calls from parents if I spoke my truth.  What type of people are we raising that believe that they can hurt and frustrate and impose their opinions in the name of truth? How is that truthful?

Holidays you need a break from...

Off to Diamond Beach. My little ASDer was so excited! We had been to this holiday park before and even though last time we packed up after a rough couple of days and our instincts should have warned us we were still hopeful that this time it would better.

I have so much but so little to say this week and as much as I don’t really have a deadline to   my writing my new dedication of an article a week for my blog is totally out the window only two weeks in. EPIC FAIL. So this weekend was much better than the last one – no meltdown in the street with shop owners checking the security out the front of their premises, so that was a win. Visit to kmart happened – so that was a win. Built a chair from kmart and only had one screw left over so that really was a big win. Found myself out to dinner and the movies on Saturday night – so again feel like I am winning. Dinner was great, good company and I have to say I definitely don’t think that Bad Moms 2 deserves the bad reviews because I thought it was hilarious.   I thoroughly enjoyed my night out. Except for a random voice message from my mum but that re...
