Well ... that's it ... I survived

Another academic year draws to an end ... today is officially the last day of school for 2012 ... well for the kids anyway ... we staff still have to go into work for 2 days next week ... but just to tidy up and get started on plans for next year ... Can you believe it but I have survived my first year 'back at school' LOL

 So this last week has been chaos ... what with the end of year PROM (which turned out to be a huge success) ... me as the 'photographer' ... over 1000 photos taken and I spent a further 16 hours editing !!!

Of course SON-shine was with me on the night so he just had to strike a pose !!!

But having him there meant I was able to get my face in a few pictures too ... the Super 7's staff:

The clean up afterwards ... all the end of year class parties etc ... running around from left to right and back to front ... everyone expecting their things to have priority !!! Grrrr ... don't do the 'octopus' thing too well ... but I promised myself I would NOT be loosing the temper or the plot !!! OK so I did loose it a little ... all I'm going to say on this matter is that I now have 1 less Christmas present to buy !!!!

Today we also had our 'staff' lunch ... it was really great to be able to let one's hair down  ... sadly though some let down yet more than their hair ... and this time I'm glad I was not one of them ... you know that old saying ... something about becoming like the company you keep !!! Well I'm pleased to say I've changed company recently !!! I went, I ate and I enjoyed my lunch ... and at just the right time I walked away...LOL

Kelsey's last day was on Wednesday ... so now he's finished his Gr 9 year ... don't know about his results yet ... we have to wait for the report card to be delivered in the post ... so we wait in anticipation !!! I know he's passed Gr9 ... but I still want to SEE the results ...

And so now my Christmas preparations start ... got things to make, places to go and people to see ... Paul arrives here next week Friday ... we planning a trip up to Nan's place in Polokwane (well I need to some sunshine ... so I figured if the sun ain't coming to me ... I'm going to it) Kelsey is hoping to spend some time in the bush with Alex and I'm gonna spend some quality time with BFF ... well that's the plan anyway ...
