I do try to include something healthy in Amy's diet daily, and she loves raw carrots and satsumas! Bit of an orange theme going on here me thinks!

Love your blog by the way.

I'm a teacher, always wanted to be actually, though found it utterly draining & it took over my life. Did the whol stress/burn out thing too! I now teach 2 days a wk v small classes (I live in a developing country) wch I find perfect! it's funny as a teacher though, you rarely know if you have inspired or influenced students, you rarely even get a thank you. I have so appreciated the notes of appreciation I have had from a handful of pupils. You do a lot of soul searching, often asking yourself is it worth it, am I having any effect? etc. Th eday to day reality, much like bringing up children i sthat even tho you KNOW it is signifiacnt & so importnat , much o fteh time it doesn't feel so. Plse do tell the teachers how you appreciate them. Believe me it will make their day! Hi, I loved this post!

When I was little very few of my teachers seemed to like children let alone enjoy teaching - and they had a helluva lot less to do than teachers today. My kids are lucky enough to go to an excellent school where most of the teachers are truly inspirational. However, even with good teachers, there can be some personality clashes meaning that your child can have a ho-hum year. Just have to get through it and move on.
