I had a nice day at work. Got lots of work done and I got to really appreciate working with my coworkers and kids a many points during the day. I love that we all just pulled together and worked so well as a team to get the centre clean after the massive dust storm yesterday. And it was a girl's bday a couple of days before and we hadn't had anything come from home - no muffins or whatever to celebrate - so we baked for her with the children and had a nice party at afternoon tea. :) So charming. Getting all the kids together to sing happy birthday and for the birthday girl to sit at the front with a friend is one of our special rituals.

Also, I got some thrilling news! I'm able to take heaps of holidays! I might be going overseas with a friend in addition to going to the Philippines at the end of the year. I can come back to work on Jan 28, I discovered. Oh incredible luck! Oh amazing bliss! I can't even begin to imagine how many dreams will come true if I can travel to England/France at the start of next year. How lucky am I???

And lastly, I had a two hour driving lesson after work today and I learnt so much. Really, lots and lots! I think of myself as a slow learner and someone who needs to practice things a lot before I get them but he kept teaching me things and pushing me and I kept learning more things and adding them in to what I was doing. For serious! This teacher is just that good. So good that he has me thinking that I'm good because I'm a good learner. LOL It's a half truth. I'm teachable and he's an awesome teacher. So I'm very lucky in that regard also.

On the bus I was listening to this song. I hated it when Tom first sent it to me. I said it was too cheerful... but today, this song is perfect! lol :)
