Knee-High Vampires

Two days. I feel like I have aged two years!
My new class are cute. Very cute. However they are ravenous, blood-sucking little monsters! Don't let size fool you...these pint-sized critters are deadly. Oh they have adorable smiles and gorgeous lisps as they twinkle "Dood Mowning Mith Bow-eth", but don't turn your back on them for a second...they'll be eating glue, spurting blood from their noses, undoing shoelaces, rolling under the table and asking you the same question ten times just to see if you will react.
This I can handle, because my last two classes were like this (even though they were older). The finishing touch is the tears, the tantrums, and the sheer-defiant will of the six-year old. I'm almost ready to take on toddlers now that I have taken on the flailing fists of a very strong and stocky Sudanese girl.
She is beautiful. Absolutely stunning features...but one particular feature (her right hook) certainly has the ability to stun you even more so...
Anyway - on the 'up' side...I'm enjoying the new challenge.
On another up-side, thanks to a great friend with convenient contacts, I get to see the Missy Higgins concert in the Hunter Valley *free*! Yay for friends! There may also be the possibility of hanging with the roadies (this friend is helping out with one of the support acts) ...I want to see whether they really are as they appear...and I want to sloth alongside them, and glean from their knowledge of slothiness.
So all-in-all, it is going to be a busy, yet eventful weekend. Surely there will be some relaxation time in there somewhere......surely
Oh...and lastly - I finally obeyed doctors orders and joined a gym. I never thought I would see the day...but there you have it. I'm a rat in a wheel 3 or 4 days a week.
