Blogging is hard work

I wonder why I thought I would have time to blog when I barely have time to do anything else? Ah well.

Update: have job interview for permanent full time position locally. Ironically if I got it my teaching commitments would be less as only one employer!

Secondly Unit Coordination is not much fun - no wonder no one wants the gig.

Am embarking on the process of applying for a PhD. If they accept me I will be truly mad.

Housework is not happening often enough so comes in large unwieldy chunks.

Marking is behind and overwhelming me.

Marriage? Well this weekend coming is good for it I hope. 10th anniversary dirty weekend!

Must get back to everything.

Well marking continues - almost done.  11 papers to go.  So sick of marking.  Children at daycare today.  Must get things done!  So much to do.  I feel like the White Rabbit!  

Am going to a tax seminar next week.  How exciting!  Well it is for me!  Very very interested to see who or what turns up.  It is in Canberra - more than three hours drive away so I will be spending the night before in a HOTEL on my OWN in the city.  I booked a room with a spa so I can have a nice time.  Will get there at 2PM on the dot so as to enjoy spa and quiet and stuff.  

Meanwhile my eldest learnt an important lesson.  Don't be cruel to animals or you lose your friend (the other mum and I agreed that ending the play visit was the most appropriate punishment).   Interestingly they both blamed each other for the idea but of course it was the stupidity of two silly boys together that caused the idea. 

More marking

Thus I did mark and mark and mark until I could mark no more.  And still they said unto me - yay verily we need you to do more.  And I did reply But how will I possibly do all I need to do?  And then I had a revelation.  The revelation was thus.  I should no longer sleep and all will become clear unto me.  

We shall see how that goes shall we? 

Student amusing quote of the day (for yesterday) " and then the company put the money into the suspense account."  

Ikea for Dummies

Am marking tax papers now - having finished Business Org papers.  Much easier to mark - lots of numbers! 

Paper count: 15 down, 67 to go!

Went to IKEA today with the whole family.  Bad bad idea.  Saw what I want in one instance but what a horrible hassle the whole thing was.  Have decided I will just buy locally even if I have to pay more for more or less the same thing - at least I won't have to drive so far and push people around or be pushed around and queue only to find things not there or not the colour I want etc etc etc.  GAH!

I love IKEA and yet am tormented at the same time.  Does it count as an abusive relationship you think?
