Justine's Joy and Jumbles

  Study Unit 1 Whaaaaat? Part 1 My week has been good so far......quiet.....just the way that I like it. I am feeling pretty stressed out though. School has broken up for my girls, and so we are all at aftercare for  most of the holiday, and I am still working.......next week I am on leave, and I would love to spend huge amounts of time with my girls but that wont be possible because I will be spending most of my time doing my study work. Don't get me wrong.......I am enjoying my studies, and I knew that this would be the price that I would have to pay to be a student, and this is just how it has to be for a few years, and hopefully my girls will see the benefits of hard work.......but, sometimes the mom guilt can be really bad.

 Hey there! Thanks for coming to my blog.....I am going to try to keep this as interesting as possible :)  Who am I? Wow, that is a deep question........Dont worry, I wont be diving in that deep.....no, that will have to be a whole other blog at a whole other time...Im going to let you know a small bit about me, just a scraping off the top....just so that you can get a general outline ;) I am Justine McAlpine, and I hail from a small town on the East Rand called Springs. Did you know that most adults live within 30km from where they were born? I live in Benoni now :) I am an older student, so that would make me 40 years old on the 23rd of September. I wont be having a party.....I am mostly an introvert, except when I am at work, then I am an extrovert.....I don't get it either! I have a handsome husband, and two beautiful girls who keep life exciting! I work at a school aftercare and I love it! I want to be a foundation phase teacher because this is the stage of a child's life...
