...and what have I done?
With apologies to John Lennon, this is one of those "OHMYGODWHEREHASTHETIMEGONE" kind of posts. With less than a week to go before we finally go on our summer holiday (and believe me, it feels like everyone else has been and we've been waiting FOR EVER for it to be our turn), and then straight back into the new school term just after we get back, I am currently experiencing a strange mixture of holiday de-mob happiness and back-to-school madness.
Will we have packed everything for our fortnight in France? Will everything have been washed? Will my children have all their new items of uniform fully labelled before they return to the classroom? Will I remember that I am off on a business trip the week after we get back? Who knows... I like to think I'm doing a halfway reasonable job of remaining organised about it, but there may be an element of denial about the whole thing.
As the Germans say; Augen zu, und durch! (*roughly translated as Eyes closed, and through...)
Happy holidays!
Enjoy!! x
ReplyDeleteStop there that sardine! We're not getting stressed about going on holiday are we?
ReplyDeleteI think the timing of the holiday (actually going away) is always tricky. I don't think going early, late or in the middle is right! I always feel 'odd' about it some how. Going close the going back to school can be great because you don't have time to think about how low you feel about coming back. The secret is not to worry about it while you're away. BTW - you're an organised bod so it will all be fine! xx
ReplyDeleteKeep writing lists and hope for the best!
ReplyDeleteWe're off start of September too and have building works starting when we're away .... I think my reluctance to start planning is mostly to do with having to admit that its all going to be a nightmare from that point on for 3 months
Or onward and upwards. Good luck, enjoy your holiday.
