arrived at last!

I have been waiting for the enrolment info to turn up for my teachers aide course for about 2 months now..feels like an eternity..well just when i was lookign at other places to do it through the info finally arrived yesterday!!!
it arrived on the 16th and all the enrolment paperwork and payment etc has to be recieved by the 18th to start in the next couple of weeks. i am sure they left it as late as possible so that people wouldnt be able to start til July. so July it is for me. The enrolment stuff includes police checks and having documents witnessed etc so there is no way i can get it done in one day and then posted to them.
Thats ok though- at least the ball is rolling. i got the police stuff done this morning after PUMP. i will send that off this afternoon and then i need to work out which subjects i want to take and how many i will be able to manage while still working. The written work wont be the problem it will be getting the practical hours in at school around my current work at the nursing home..but even with that hassle i am really excited to be starting something new..something that will challenge me and hopefully open up new opportunites career wise.
not much else going on. made it through my 4 days at work. TOM arrived at the same time which made me tired and crampy and just wishing i could stay in bed. Mothers Day was spent at work and the afternoon i came home to the kids who had made signs saying Happy Mothers Day which were stuck all over the house. I really am lucky to have such a gorgeous family. We went for dinner at my mum and dads place and even though i was tired it was still great to see them and catch up.
i am going out for dinner tonight with 3 maybe 4 of my girlfriends. we always have a great time laughing and filling each other in on whats been going on in our lives. one of them is single so she usually regales us with tales of her dating woes and the rest of us seem happy we dont have to go through all that anymore.
off to get some housework done and work out what i am going to wear to this soiree tonight with my GF's.
hugs bell :)
