another month gone......

oh can someone please tell me where another month has gone to....
i just seem to be hanging in by the seat of my pants lately.... i don't think i will ever catch up on everything I have to do.......
Exciting news for us last week....
my second eldest was offered an apprenticeship!! He has been doing a school based apprenticeship and after a few hiccups......lol like his first employer going bankrupt... and him having to find another school based apprenticeship.....
his current employer offered him a full time apprenticeship last Wednesday and he needed an answer by Thursday........ so after a lot of umming and ahhing we decided to let him take it....
If he had waited and finished Year 11 the apprenticeship wouldn't have been there......so we really had no choice.......
spoke with his teachers and they told us we have done the right thing as it is getting really hard to get apprenticeships now.... so that makes me feel better knowing i think we have done the right thing by him...
so he has 2 weeks holidays and then starts full time work......
Kids have such big dreams when they first enter the work force... listening to him saying what he is going to do and how much he is going to save etc... lol ..... if only......
time will tell if he enjoys it but it will be a lot different from school that is for sure....
