Island Life

My goodness what a windy night it was last night - I thought we were all going to blow away off the rock! But after some more howling and some nasty showers its turned into a beautiful day. The sun is shining but there are some clouds starting to roll in. The kids are busy playing in a tent/tunnel sort of thing, its keeping them extremely amused! So I actually have some 'me' time!!!!
Sent for a prospectus from the local college which I got yesterday. Can't seem to find the course I'm looking for though. I would love to be a primary teacher but looks like if I want to do that it means a move off the rock at least for a few years. As much as I would love to do that don't know if I can put the kids through such an ordeal! For all the things this island may be its relatively safe compared to many places. Yes there's the odd murder and stabbing but everywhere has these - right?! Usually the only re-occuring problem here is drunks. For some very strange reason the mentality over here can be 'you'll never guess how much I drunk at the weekend.....' and thats something to be proud of seemingly. Could never quite figure the attraction of getting so sloshed you can't remeber what you did or said. And what a waste of money. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the occassional drink but to the state of oblivion - nah I just don't get it!!
Man I veered off track there. I had started saying I was wanting to go back to college and then I started rambling about drinking. Maybe its because the last time I was in college I was doing a health degree. Didn't quite finish it got half way through and then ended up pregnant - don't know how that happened!!! So college had to go on the backburner for a while and well then kiddo number 2 came along and I don't like the thought of someone else bringing up my kids. So right now my life is on hold bringing them up till they start school and then I can concentrate on me again. Hubby has to do all the breadwinning just now. I thought I could maybe start studying online but I can't find anything to do with teaching available. Yes gaelic teaching but not english, and well I only really know all the bad words in gaelic and the odd phrase here and there. I used to be fluent in speaking and could read and write it but no-one at home could so I kind of lost it when I left school.
Don't really have anything else to say now my mind has literally gone blank and I thought I had a lot to say!! Maybe some would say I have already said too much. Think the tiredness is kicking in. Theres been to many sleepless nights in the last while. I think I'm turning in to a robot. Any other nightshift work has the day off - why does that no work for mums and dads???? Can't remember the last time I actually slept ALL night with NO interruptions.........
