The April Fool

I wish I could think of a suitably mischievous April Fool's joke to play on you, but the truth is that I'm really too exhausted to bother.

It has been a long, long term and I've come to the decision that I will be leaving at the end of next term - hopefully with a job to go to. I know it sounds like a mad thing to do, but I'm seriously scared of staying on. If things don't get better there, both kids and teachers are going to get seriously hurt. And I mean "seriously". New job or not, I'm outta there in July.

Anyway, I'm taking it easy and applying for vacancies, which is not hard as they are coming up every few days.

You never know - I might be able to report some exciting news before the month is up.
It would be nice to add something more positive than my recent entries.

Passover is hurtling towards us and so my mind needs to be fixed on other things - aside from the violence that is permeating my daily working life.

London's Win Is My Loss.

I can barely conceal my overwhelming enthusiasm for the IOC's decision to award the city I live in, management of the 2012 Olympic Games. I'm not going to harp on about why I'm so against the decision, suffice to point you to the blog I posted back in June. So now I have to spend the next seven years listening to endless debates and counter-debates as to how prepared/unprepared this city is and whether anything at all will change. It makes you almost wish you were listening to some gossip about the Royal Family instead (I said almost ). One positive outcome is that we beat the French (once again) and if I think about it from that angle, I can come to the conclusion that hosting the games not be such a bad thing after all. Guess what....I'm already beginning to feel better!

The Bomb Shelter

I'm feeling pretty down today. I don't know if its the shitty weather (grey skies and nothing but rain) or the fact that the alarm clock woke me up at the ungodly hour of 4.30 this morning - but I really don't feel happy. I'm pondering whether I'm finding my marriage or parenthood more challenging right now. My throat is raw from all the screaming I've done at the kids over the last few days and my T.Q (temper quotient) is at an all time low. You sneeze at the wrong volume and I'll bite your head off. I'm an absolute bastard to live with and I know it. I prefer not to engage in conversation with any of the family because I can't be bothered to be sociable. At least on my blog, I can let my emotions rip, without someone interrupting my rant. The underlying cause for it all? It could be a growing sense of panic that school is approaching and I really haven't done any preparation yet. When I sit down to start work, I get a feeling of total paralysis...
