No new crises made me happy. Well happier than I was. It's Monday -whaddya want? Blood?

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

Very few people know what the hell your talking about, but I can totally understand the scale of the job, and your sense of accomplishment.

HungLikeJesus · 11-30-2010, 06:39 PM

By clipping, do you mean trimming their nails?

Clodfobble · 11-30-2010, 10:36 PM

The DVD successfully ripped and burned. Copy protection be damned, ha HAH!!

That's so beautiful, and makes my submission seem somehow shallow...

Tonight's council meeting is SNOWED OFF!!!!

Fuck yeah!

This makes me happy. Indeed, it makes me positively gleeful. Hurrah, huzzah etc.

Aliantha · 12-01-2010, 04:32 PM

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).

I know what yer talking about. Sounds like a happy thing to me!

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.

Clodfobble · 12-03-2010, 01:46 PM

Those are the moments, eh Sundae?

Is "H" your assigned child?

Sundae · 12-03-2010, 02:41 PM

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.
