Konbanwa~
Today is bonfire night
the day years ago that Guy Fawkes tried to blow up parliment
and I wanna say that if I was there I would have given him a helping hand ;)
I don't do anything for bonfire night anymore
as a child helina my neighbour and friend her dad would have a huge bonfire
in his back garden, it was that big and wild that other concerned neighbours
had rang the fire brigade on more than one occasion XD
i have happy memories from those times as my grandparents used
to come to the bonfire also and i got to stay up late with helina :D
but those times have gone sadly when the family decided they wanted a garden
and not a giant ash pile.
Now days for bonfire im just on pet duty
as bonfire night brings a lot of fireworks
and of course some pets are fine with it and others arent
i just think 'if its loud to my ears its gotta be loud to them'
so pinky is downstairs in the hall, tiffin is in my room and i didnt know what to do with the little ones so they are currently under my desk as i type this at my desk. I made a little den for them with cardboard boxes and carrot. Tiffin is right on the case as he knows this isnt normal and keeps going to sniff them. On one occasion so far millie has followed tiffin XD she came out of the den but then panicked and ran back under once she lost sight of tiffin
today i havent done a great deal
i cleaned pets out with mum
it was cold damn it ><
i went for a cold walk with mum
done some reading whilst drinking tea
i slept in my cosy bed as i didnt sleep great last night
i danced and uploaded it~
and finally i have been drawing!!
ive prepped a few pictures cus i want to draw everyone from digimon
ive finished kari and today i made a good start of matt
here is kari, dressed as gatomon
and the start of matt
i prepped mimi and sora
im pleased with how matt is turning out
matt was my favourite along with tai, well i loved em all really XD
im doing the backgrounds in the colour of their crests
dont know why ive suddenly decided on this project i think it was when i drew lopmon and buneary the other week XD
so i plan on drawing tomorrow :)
sad i know that i dont see anyone on the weekends but all well
Evening all~~
Mum woke me at 8am this morning
In my sleep i said "i'll be there soon"
20mins later i was up
i havent stopped yawning since tho XD
I blame it on last night's sleeping tablets
I was up on my laptop til late doing that stupid form for today
so i knew i needed something to relax me.
I got ready to go into the city center
mum decided to come with me
it was a bit of rush to get ready and i ran out of time to have a brew ><
I got there on time
the guy who emailed and rang me saw to me
he looked a few years older than me and was nice to me
we went through it all but i was already very familiar with how agencies work
but he offered me the most money at £55 per day! instead of that other place being £51 per day
its extra money and would add up
also i liked the vibe of their agency it seemed very friendly and things
last week's agency was very rushed and busy like they didnt have enough staff to cover everything
so i think id go with this agency
they said they were struggling for people who wanted long term jobs and people willing to work with key stage 2 so i fit in really well for that :)
he said he will do his best to get me some work.
and if my references come through ok i could have work as soon as next week or the week after!
I left there and went home for a brew and a sit with the pigs
since then ive been drawing and went for a walk with mum
and lazed round with my prince X3 i watched nail tutorials too
the convention!
it happened on saturday and i didnt really take any photos whilst i was there
to be honest as it wasnt that great really
so here is just a few
me before we left~
A pikachu key chain i picked up ^^ its hung up with my plushies at home
the beads i chose
the bracelet before
and after, much more filled
that was it~
tomorrow it is bonfire night so that means a night in for me caring for the pets~
i didnt upload a dance today
i had one recorded but upon watching it today i decided it wasnt good enough
Good Evening
It is currently 9pm
I am usually sat down with the prince at this time
but I have no stopped today
I got up at 7am for school
I was in year 3 which did my head in a bit
they just squabble over equipment sooooo much!!
I saw 2 boys rugby tackle other boys for a rubber from their table!!!!
Madness
I was asked to put up photos on the wall display
I ran out of time so worked through my lunch
the staple gun was playing up so that wasted time >.>
After lunch I was in year 6
we did geography
then break time I remembered to go outside
after break it was art ^^
I was lucky enough to take 6 children into the art room for some 1 to 1
honestly the whole class wanted to come with me XD
they will all get a turn im sure
so we did whacky portraits
i even got some coffee and let them paint with that which they loved :)
Home time!!
I came home had a brew
layed on my bed with tiffin snoring underneath the bed
phone went it was for me about a school needing a long term TA
i wasnt aware it was another bloody agency but it sounded promising
so he invited me along for an interview tomorrow in the city center
he said "fill out the form online it only takes 20mins"
I was sat here an hour thats why im so damn late
I had yoga between then
just jesus i havent bloody stopped
i had to calm my very upset rabbit down as a cat almost got him
this was 5 mins before i got home from school
mum was just as shook up as tiffin
thank god nothing happened and mum realized in time!
So tomorrow I have an interview at 10am
mum may come to the city center with me yet
here is a figure i got in the post
added her with the rest of the collection
Konbanwa~~
I slept not to bad last night
but i was certainly ready for bed and crawled to my bed at 9:30pm
had to be done XD
This morning I drew on my laptop for a bit
then went food shopping with mum
after lunch i was reading then did some more drawing
then i got ready to go look round this school i was invited to go visit
it was the BIGGEST primary school i have ever been to
seriously it was huge
but it did used to be high school and since then theyve even added more rooms!
and are going to expand some more!
I could have got lost it was so big
I was with another woman applying for the role who looked to be double my age
and were looked after by the head teacher who was really nice
so we looked round and she told us what the role would involve
and it was basically a position for a child with special needs aged 4/5
which wasn too bad i guess but its still not the role id really want to have
and then she said she wasnt sure if he was toilet trained or not
and at that point i thought 'ok im not bothered if i get this job or not'
my 2 worst things in being a teacher assistant for me is
nose bleeds
toilet issues
so after the tour we left i came home and had a brew and filled mum in
she wasnt impressed and hoped i didnt get that job XD
i checked my emails and i had received one from another school saying
that they would like to give me a ring as they were impressed with my CV :)
so fingers crossed i get in contact with them cus thats another local school!
since then i havent done a great deal really
tomorrow im in year 3 then doing art with year 6 :)
Bits in the post have been arriving to me over the last week but what with showing
my pokemon cards i chose to wait to show everything else
heres a rug i ordered for £16 total bargin
its from the anime card captors which i used to watch as a kid
its sakura's magic circle its sooo cool
i thought it would be made of a cheap material but its really soft and padded
im well impressed with it
also it seems to have gone down well with tiffin as hes always laying on it now
whereas my last rug he hated it
pooed on it
scurried it
bit it
so yeah a good buy~
Good Evening~~
I feel like I had a bit of a day to myself today
in the morning I was left home alone til 1pm
I tried to apply for jobs, took some photos and altered photos
then I started drawing
I have 7 pictures on the go at the moment XD just keep coming up
with new ideas and then re-visiting other drawings
today i decided i wanted to draw the new pokemon Rockruff
its ok it will do
just something i felt like doing really :)
I went to karen's it was good to see her
although her and her daughter are going through some tough times with her daughters mental health
to be honest it sounded like hearing my story from 2010
i feel for them i really do. shes had to drop uni like i had to drop college
i dont know how karen finds the strength she does
she is an amazing person
i came home had a brew and shower
and then did some more drawing
the day has just gone!
Im gonna do a lil dancing
tomorrow i am going to look round a school at 3pm
im a bit nervous even though its just s viewing not an interview which i find a lil strange as i havent even sent them my application form or my CV yet they've invited me along...
strange but hopefully all will be well :)
ハッピーハロウィン!!!
Happy Halloween all!
Yep it's come round again
the witching day~
and to celebrate Halloween I have a few things to show~
First Pichu flying on a broom stick, random I know but I kinda like it
the background was tricky tho
My little girls, who were very hard work XD alice wanting to bury her head the whole time
and millie chewing everything i put out -_____-
My halloween nails which the kids loved!
Finally my pumpkin which I carved yesterday :)
It's alright, I never do spectacular ones but I still like to do them
today!
I woke up at 6:50am so I got up and was the first up to get ready
which made me early for everything this morning ^^
I arrived at school early too X3
the dept head saw me
"Jo can I have a word with you?"
why is it everytime i hear that sentence i think 'crap what have i done wrong!?'
she just needed year 3 &4 covering
phew ><
I walked round to year 3 to find the head teacher putting saw dust in the guinea cage
i went up to her "I can do that if you like?"
"Jo you're a star thank you. I dont want anyone holding the guineas today, we need to teach them how to hold them correctly and sort it out"
I said "yes as the friday we broke up one did go to the floor"
so im glad i was listened to for the sake of Ted and Martin's health
So my morning started with year 3 doing basic english and maths
then when they went to do P.E. i went and took the old School Council wall display down
and went to put a new one up once I had spoke to the head teacher about what she would like up
It was the first time I have ever put the backing up myself its quite the task
i wasnt sure where the step ladders were and as i was alone i stood on a chair
the head TA saw me and said "you need step ladders its health and safety"
so she showed me where to find them :)
I worked half way into my lunch til i finished
nienka and me had a catch up and she let me have some cookies ^^
i'm to bring in a slice of bread on thursday and shes bringing chocolate sprinkles
as she tells me bread or toast with chocolate sprinkles tastes amazing!?
we shall see i guess
after lunch I went to year 4
a year group i havent worked with really
but i knew quite a few of the kids already ^^
And as luck would happen...we did art!! YES!
so that was good fun~
I did a few random jobs for the teacher, folding paper, cutting strings and stuff
during break i kept going with my painting so the teacher could use it as an example
after break the head TA came to me
"why wasnt you outside on break"?
"i didnt know I was suppose to. im sorry. if you tell me when i need to go out i will do it"
she told me from now on every afternoon break ALL TAs go outside on playground duty
i said "I feel bad you having to tell me this stuff"
she said "dont feel bad. i dont tell you these things to feel bad. i tell you them so you know"
she is nice i think its me worrying to much about getting everything perfect
but i worked out, ive learned how to be in schools but im still learning the ways of the school im at. what i learn there isnt in a textbook.
hometime and i had a brew with mum
then went online, had a look for jobs
got offered to go round a local school, i rang up. but the office was shut already
i shall try again tomorrow
its halloween and as a few kids know where i live ive had a few come trick or treat to me XD
theyre dead excited to see me its sweet
and some costumes are amazing!
i wore to school my halloween top, a black lacy skirt and some pink/black/orange tights ^^
people loved my outfit :D
tomorrow im seeing karen~
Good Evening~~
The clocks go back today so we get an extra hour this sunday....
why did it have to fall on a stinkin' sunday!?
I didn't sleep great and when I woke up at 7am I wanted to get up
as it was technically 8am and id had enough of being in bed i ached
mum was still in bed - its rare i get up before her except on school days
so i went down stairs, grabbed pinks and delivered her to mum in bed
it wasnt much of a surprise tho as the entire way to mum's room
pinks nothing but complained - loudly >.>
I started my morning doing the canvas art
and as of 5:30pm I got it finished!!!
tiffin was in my room a lot this morning distracting me X3
After lunch I went for a walk and I bumped into 2 last year year 6
2 girls, it was good to see em i asked em about high school and stuff
and told em that their siblings in year 3 that ive gotten to know them X3
I came home and got my pumpkin out
i thought for a few reasons that it was best to carve it tonight
1. i have school tomorrow
2. i'll be in mums way when i carve it when i get home
3. i'll be tired and not produce my best work
4. im doing my nails tonight i'll be damned if i wrecked them on a pumpkin!
so I got to work~ Im glad i did it as the pumpkin was just starting to go off
i managed to salvage as much as I could of the pumpkin to make pumpkin soup
so when i finished the pumpkin i went and made soup with the left overs and other veg
tasted really good ^^
tonight im gonna paint halloween nails!
looking forward to it ^^
I hope to get a lil dance practice in as ive just finished learning Angerme's new song :D
tomorrow im wearing my halloween top, purple shorts and weird tights and purple and black accessories, i have a make up in mind too - nothing drastic as i never go drastic and its school too
that was my day
i dont feel like i stopped really
but hopefully that means i'll sleep tonight and be fresh in the morning ^^
here are the last of my pokemon cards
ground type and trainer cards both bore me somewhat XD
but my favourite are...well i dont seem to have one but the shiny machamp was my first ever shiny and my first ever pack of pokemon cards!
