Back into it...

...no rest for the wicked, so they say. Life is once again in the hectic phase, with Uni taking over my life again. Doing 3 units in an attempt to 'get ahead' and have a quieter Christmas time re study. Just means I have lots to do :) Am about on track, just have a lot of work to do before E2C Retreat in about 10 days. 3 Assignments to have completed, one not too big, 2 HUGE ones. Gotta love a challenge. I do have a couple of days after the retreat til they are due, but they are TOO big to get done in 2 days, so beforehand it is.
One a lighter note, my sister, who does not like scrapbooking at all...thinks it's a huge waste of time, actually was very impressed with the LO I did of her baby Anabelle (see earlier post) and would like it framed to go on Anabelle's bedroom wall. Was very surprised. So now to find a nice frame to put it in. Anyone got any suggestions? I know KMart sometimes have them, but I got one from there before Christmas and the LO's don't fit properly, very annoyed.
Anyway, will see lots of you lovely people at the retreat soon...I am really looking forward to it...odds are on that I will have a totally sleepless night before this year's too! mmm....

BeFunky....

A small challenge from the E2C Blog...
Check out this site: BeFunky...it's a lot of fun!

Results...

OK, I don't normally brag about my University results...doesn't feel right. BUT (lol), I am so excited about my last Unit that I want to shout it to everybody!
The last Assignment was a digital ePortfolio, a Power Point presentation to demonstrate and reflect on our learning journey so far, which will be adapted and modified in the future. I got my mark back today, OMFG, fantastic feedback and 39/40! Absolutely elated! Doing the big happy dance atm! Also means I only dropped 3 points for the whole unit, ending up with 97%!
Gotta be happy with that!

Let it be over...

We have had a terrible 2 weeks...Tyla has had a very painful ear infection...numerous trips to the hospital, finally on anti-biotics, still took her about 4 days to come good. All up she had 4.5 days off school. Has not been pleasant. Then, Friday night, Halle woke up vomiting, spent all night at it, and half the next day. Then Saturday night, I came down with it. Poor me didn't get over it quite as quickly as Halle and Tuesday night I was still vomiting. I'm still not 100% and hardly eating. Peter got a dose as well...not as bad as me thank goodness. He got 3 days off work, luckily because he was really needed at home to look after the kids. He's drinking beer again today so must be feeling ok. lol! Top it all off, Halle seemed to have a relapse again last night. Kids are amazing tho, she has been full of beans today. She is so gorgeous at the moment, I just want to watch her face forever.
Our other gorgeous girl Tyla, will be 6 tomorrow. So tomorrow, I will be housecleaning (BLAH), making birthday cakes, sorting out house for visitors all weekend. Tyla has a friend over for sleepover tomorrow night, a couple more for very casual barbecue lunch on Saturday, and lots of family visiting for the weekend as well.! Woohoo, gonna be a fun weekend, I am looking forward to it! :)
Have not got any Uni work done at all...not a good start to the Study Period. Been too sick and am going to be too busy for the next few days. Not good...ah well. Gotta have some down time too...would just prefer it when I am not sick!
No scrapping, although am getting some ideas for E2C Retreat.
