Sunday...
Stale doughnuts and warm coffee with SKY 143 in the background - charlieguru's watching some home improvement crap.
Our baby's been over at my folks for the past 4 days and the pain of being separated from her is finally taking it's toll on us... we're both missing her incredibly. I've never felt so lost.
There's a strange silence when she's not here,...

Sorry 'bout the lateness of this update!
I've been soo busy lately wot wiv lesson plans, resourcing and my family.
Life's been up and down... things have been great one minute and stressed the next - all this and I have a bloody cough and I feel like crap (Still!)
On the upside I've found the joy of William Shatner singing Common People.

Soul Searching Sux... So Do Saturdays!
Just watching 'Jackass... behind the ass', and I've realized that I'll never be the carefree skateboarding 15/16/17 year old lunatic that I used to be - ever again.
Ciel's journal today really moved me. It was so bloody, brutal and true that it's given me some things to think about. I read it just before my folks came...

Don't be worried about our Ciel, she's stronger than she realises, she's awesome. I agree this year has been lame, and hopefully the next one will be better. If I can only find a new job all will be excellent. Fingers crossed!
and if not...then as you say, his loss
how are you doing??
