Keen as mustard.. My boy is really taking this voluntary work seriously, he is there every day! I had to stop him from going on the 35+ days (temperature) he got sunburnt and it was really dark red on the back of his neck.. One week til school goes back, I only took my Christmas tree down on the weekend, dont think I'll bother with a tree next yr, do a Christmas with the Kranks maybe..  I just couldnt get into it this last Christmas. I love the Lord and I am usually the first to put my tree up, but I think it's because my is growing up. He didnt seem to spend much time with me, he stays in his room and plays his ps2 games, or draws, or reads.. That's why I'm so glad about his volunteering.. He actually thanked me the other day for always being there and encouraging him to have a go. He said he feels like he's really doing something with his life and has never felt so good as he does now! I'm just waiting for him to go back to school so I can have some time to think about what I want to do with my life. I have always believed that's what good parenting is about, just like the animal kingdom, we are to teach our how to go out there and do it for themselves, to be independent.. And now it's happening, I have to think about me and what's next, dont want to get caught out!! I have signed up for art again this yr, painting and ceramics. I did my coffee course last yr and really love the whole process of grinding and making my own coffee, texturising the milk etc. And my nail tech course, not quite sure about that, need to finalise some of that still. I learned how to apply acrylic and gel nails, extensions etc. and also do pedicures and manicures. I guess I was just testing the waters, having a go.. By doing these courses I also wanted to be an example to my , to lead by example, to encourage him.. He is going to be ok and that's all that matters, he is part of this community, it's his home.. Thank you Lord!!
