Hub and I just finished clipping and grooming 6 steers for a preview steer show this weekend. Only 5 more to go. My work and life is a bit weird.
 I hope the kids showing have fun

...and i just got an email confirming my kid's class won/earned the maximum amount in a fundraising drive I spearheaded. I had thought it was close and we might take second place at the last minute, but it ended up being a landslide in our favor

By clipping, do you mean trimming their nails?

I don't think it's shallow to be glad about not going out in the snow Dana. lol I'd probably be glad too (after I got over the novelty of snow in the first place).

Today, I made a child happy.
I found a toy a child thought was lost. Not much in the scheme of things, but H can be "difficult" sometimes. He was genuinely upset. And he was so happy, and thanked me so formally and politely (words) and so genuinely (grin) when I found it. He'll be back to his rambuctious best next time I see him, but for a couple of minutes a plastic fish solved every problem he had in the world.

Those are the moments, eh Sundae?
Is "H" your assigned child?

Sadly, I don't even know what "my" child looks like yet
 I can't be introduced to him in case my Enhanced CRB uncovers something that my basic CRB doesn't cover - like the fact I'm a raging paedo. I do completely understand of course, it's just frustrating in my circumstances. I do love the children with behaviour issues though * And oddly, they have always attached themselves to me. The first being my Mum's friend's child, who tried to strangle my brother when they were both pre-school. I was 12. H (the child mentioned above) definitely has "issues" and I can't always get through. So it was just wonderful to be able to do something for him. In fact I gave him a house point because he thanked me. Positive reinforcement. * Please note these are children who have been assessed as having behavioural issues - "my" school has a specialist language centre, a speech therapist, a physical therapist, regular assessments from the child psychology team and plenty of things I don't know about yet. If the children are identified as having behavioural problems it's not in ignorance.
