Update
Dad is out of Hospital! :D
The BFF is more awesome than ever! I have asked her to promise not to ever make me move out!!!
I missed church today! :(
But, the BFF and I went to see the final Harry Potter Movie. I need a bit of a debrief after this. You see, they changed the ending! They changed things that were not supposed to be changed! I don't like change! (grrr)
:@
My back hurts! :( ouch!
I seem to have lapsed back into the depths of my "exclamation mark" addiction!

I have been remiss!
Did you know that remiss is a new word for busy?!
I have been very busy for the last 17 days. I have also been unwell. Not only that, I have returned to school which is busier than ever. I bought a new bed. My sister has become a Tupperware lady. The BFF has contracted a more painful neck condition than mine (she always better than me at everything). Then, on Monday night, if the world wasn't already in turmoil, Dad was rushed to hospital then to surgery with internal bleeding. This resulted in a visit to the ICU and a short stint on a respirator. Good News... NOT!
Then I am told that Dad's Dad has also been shipped off to hospital with an urinary tract infection and now has pnuemonia. They are in two different hospitals approximately two hours apart and I missed quite a bit of work this week. Quite frankly I would rather be sitting at my father's bedside than dealing with ratty 13 year olds who think that my class is boring. So I went to be with Dad. I am also staying at Mum's place this week because she doesn't know how to live on her own. My brand new bed is going to get a complex if I don't go home soon!
Anyway, that's about it. I have more to say... always will... but for now.... that's that!
PS. spare a thought for Hagrid and the kids... they are at home alone with the BFF and I have to tell myself that they miss me. I wonder if Hagrid can massage with those great big paws of his?!

Stupid Science of Spelling
It has been a while since a Wednesday Word has popped up on the radar but here it is.
I was reading a text book called "The Science of Spelling" the other day. It is actually a very good book (although a bit dry) and has some very useful information. But I digress. On page ONE I read a word that I didn't know. When you start reading a book and you are finding unfamiliar words on the first page or two this is not a good sign. In fact, if one of my students was struggling with words in the first few pages I would probably tell them to choose another book! So, don't I feel clever (note the facetious tone)! The word and definition are below. If you are one of those people who actually uses this word in everyday conversation, I have one thing to say to you..."find another word because no one knows what on earth you are talking about!"

Talking Calendar
A friend of mine gave me a perpetual calendar for Christmas last year and each day has a saying or bible verse on it. Today it says:
How sad and (unfortunately) true! Is anyone else starving?!
"It is not the minutes at the dining table that will make you fat - it is the seconds!"
