I got some really lovely feedback on my final lesson of the day today which really ended my week on such a high. I’d love to say I’m recharging the batteries this weekend but I’m in full on dance mum mode, driving all over to classes and competitions. Happy Friday!

It’s no secret that placement is tough, especially with two young kids! But it’s so worth it when lovely feedback like this comes in. Feel like I’m making so many little improvements. Taking each day as it comes & trying not become overwhelmed 🤗

The wee yin has a cracking temperature, a cough like a lifelong smoker and the greenest nose I have ever seen - not ideal on placement-eve, but so typical! An 🆘 call was placed to the mother-in-law who’s arrived to provide backup, should we need it! Typical Maw-of-2 life, this!

So proud of you, sis. Addiction can affect those you’d deem unlikely. I’m proud of every day she spends in recovery & every day she chooses sobriety. Rehabilitation changed her life, if you’d have told me a year ago we’d be here, I’d never have believed it. You grow, girl. 🩷

Nightly debrief with my 5yo, told her I was discussing love & hate in Romeo & Juliet with S3. She asked what R+J was about, then says ‘it’s just like the Smeds & the Smoos!’ dont have the heart to tell her R+J ends v differently from S&S, who have a baby & the families make up!🤣

Thoroughly enjoyed the first ‘proper’ day of my course today. Lots of thought-provoking discussion on the purpose of education, the tensions between these purposes, how they have developed over time and will continue to develop in the future.
Today, we're kicking off our 2023/24

programme with an exploration of the different purposes of education.

Tonight, instead of her usual story, my 5-year-old wanted to read some poems before bed. We read The Dolly on The Dustcart, The Lion & Albert and From a Railway Carriage.
I got so carried a way in my dramatic reading that my other half had to come upstairs & tell me to wheesht!

I have imposter syndrome because I’ve been conditioned to believe this. I graduated with a first in English Lit, I’m about to begin my PGDE and will be teaching in Edinburgh and being working class from Paisley I sound like Mhairi. So by these standards I can’t be an educator? 🤷🏻♀️

Absolutely. This was part of the feelings I had to process. I struggled with the racial language too, it’s wholly uncomfortable. Thank you for this article - I will read now.

Another win this week. My nephew is a lovely boy who hasn’t had the easiest few years but he’s really knuckling down at school ahead of sitting his Nat 5s next year and upcoming prelims in December. This was his RUAE mark this week on last year’s Bluey paper. So beyond proud!

You are finally living the life you deserve to live. Recovery is possible. 🩷
