Report Time

Well, the end of the school year in Australia brings report time!
Both my boys have achieved some great results this year thanks to some hard work at home, some consistent effort on their part, and some bloody good teachers. There has been some significant achievement in areas where grades have gone from C or D to As, and we are SO proud of both our boys.

Wish the report card for my birthday was as good. Afraid it was one of the worst days of my life, filled with stress and tears brought about by people and factors outside our control. THANKS BE TO GOD, that influence is now behind us and we can move on, but seriously, as friends and family have already acknowledged,  we HAVE  already had more than our fair share of pain and stress in the past. BLAahh. Anyway, we look forward to a quiet Christmas with loved ones, friends AND family, who've yet again proven, that we are loved and valued by them all. So blessed we are to have such an awesome group of people around us. I've always borne witness to the phrase "It could be worse," but in the last week, each day seemed to have found a new low. Still, we have come out the other end of a difficult situation so we move on! AND, yes, there is always someone else out there who has it worse than us, this I know.

SO, we head into Xmas with very few gifts organised for our kids. What do they NEED? Little. What would they like...a few things, but what to choose for them? Ugh. Too hard a question lol. Might make myself a cuppa and go finish Bec's capecho. At least then one more garment can go on the 'Finished' section of the Craft Report Card for 2011 ahahhaa.
