Yeah! School's Back!

I AM SO EXCITED SCHOOL IS BACK FOR ANOTHER YEAR!
And I am so glad that Spawn is also excited to go back to school - in Grade 1!!! ..crikey.

As you probably know, I spent a chunk of time making snacks to fill Spawn's lunchbox, and I love that I was even more prepared this year than I was last year! There is so much variety in the freezer that I have no problem asking Spawn what he wants for lunch tomorrow, then pulling something that meets his requirements out of the freezer, ready to go the next day! Sooooo good. (Last year I only really made treats, so still had to make savoury things for lunch time.)

Anyway, who cares about food?! School is back! I have freedom! I can do grocery shopping without Spawn! Probably one of my favourite things, as supermarkets are one of the few places that still send him super troppo - I think it's a combination of the light, noise, and whatever else over-stimulates him.

His new teacher is getting all the praises, too. (Let's call him "Mr M" to maintain my "anonymity" lol.) "Mummy! Mr M loves animals too!" "Mummy, Mr M tells me I have to do this *puts hands behind back and sits quietly* when he rings his bell." ...I think I need to ask Mr M where he got his bell, LOL. 
This is obviously a good thing - not going to lie when I say I was a tad scared that Spawn wouldn't take to his new teacher. He loved his old teacher - maybe more than me, some days! Then again, Mrs F was amazing. I loved her, too. Sad that she isn't at the school this year, yet excited for what she is spending the year doing.

Did I mention Spawn was approved for school funding?! I cannot remember if I mentioned it in a previous blog or not??!
Anyway, he was. I'm not sure how many hours he will have with the aide (what the funding covers), but I'm so excited that he's going to have SOME time with an aide, that I'm not particularly fussed over how long it is!!! Hopefully it's enough to really help Spawn though. Lord knows he needs the help at school, so he can learn to manage his behaviour.

I applied to go back to university..........again. I think I might spend my life studying. Every time I think I have my career sorted out, a spanner is thrown into the works that rules it out! It's beyond frustrating!!! Law is definitely out though, so I know I need to do something to help me with a new career path. I think what I have chosen will work. It has its perks, and works with my personality, most days. We'll see though. Depends on whether or not the university accepts me! No pressure, lol.

Eh. I think I have rambled enough, and I need to make a start on dinner. Until next time......

Peace out.
