My blog slept through July. A sweet winter hibernation.

(That, and I have truly not had time or energy to post since about June.)

A few highlights include:

1. Getting a lovely new sister in law who was so shiny and beautiful and smiley on the day of her marriage that I was so happy I cried.

2. MK camp. Always good.

3. Reachout. If you can, go. So awesome.

4. Hitting the 1 1/2 years of marriage mark. 18 months in and better than ever.
5. Doing fun and random things with friends.

6. Thinking about re-tripping to Bangladesh in ‘07.

7. Talking to my family.
8. Having a (small) amount of time to lose myself with pencils and paper.

9. Going to the glow worm tunnel in Lithgow

10. My school kids making tiny and big leaps of progress.

Some lowlights include

1. Stress at work, because my little cherubs are not really.

2. Worrying slightly about my brave and caring husband and the twistedness of the world he works in.

3. Having too much to do and not knowing when to do it.

Apart from being the anniversary of my dramatic and slightly messy entrance into this world, tomorrow holds a prac student in my classroom who I’m happy to say is related to me), a visit from the author Jackie French (who wrote an excellent children’s book called ‘Diary of a wombat’ amongst other things), some excitable children, some birthday hype, some pancakes in North Rocks and some family gathering.
And now I am but hours away from becomming a year older, a little wiser, and slightly ridiculed at work for being the approximate age of my friends’ children.

23 awaits with bated breath.
