Anxious

Woke up feeling anxious and worried. No real reason. Husband's better, dog's OK. I'm back to work today - I teach kindergarten and started off a brand new class. Maybe that was it? I couldn't help myself - off to the toilet all the time, checking, checking. My little mantra hardly calmed me.

Tomorrow will be better.

Kindergarten Teach aye ? I find that kinda funny - I have a mental image of you as a Tomboy (does that translate into Aussie ?) Not that a kinder teach can't be a Tomboy. - Tell me about the kids in the class, tell me about beach patrol-I'd love to hear about it. just don't tell me about the weather. -

Ah ha! Distract me with questions - a cunning plan!!

I'm much more relaxed today and feel a lot better.

A tomboy... mmm nah not really. Not that sporty, but independent and a bit of a risk taker. I'm certainly not too girly; no make up, no fancy things.

Anyway - the kids are cute and funny. One little girl fell sound asleep during nap time. Slept for an hour and I had to carry her out to go home! Cute. No screamers, no biters this year (so far!!)

Beach patrol is mainly boring... (if I'm perfectly honest). You spend the entire time hoping nothing bad happens. I've done one rescue which was scarey - a 40-50 y/o male who went under in the surf training we were doing. He said "Help,"clutched chest and went under. I hauled him up and maintained his head above water etc. Signalled for rescue boat. The crew (men) tried to rescue me!! I shouted, "not me - him!!" the guy was pretty big so as they dragged him into the boat a crewman fell out!! It was a comedy of errors, but still a little close for comfort.
