I am back at work until the next holiday in exactly 6 weeks and I can hardly wait.

I do love my job, most days anyway.

This morning was hard going. Child 1 and 2 prepared their lunch box the previous night as to have extra time in bed. We all got up just after 6.30. We had to make an effort to eat breakfast as our stomachs were not awake yet. My stomach decided that 10.30 was a good time for food. Luckily I had packed a dark chocolate sandwich and I was in heaven for a few minutes.

Child 3 got dressed and then went into dream land again. He had not packed his bag and was not ready to go back.

Child 2 decided 2 minutes before leaving the house that her new school blazer was not the right size. The blazer is fine at the shoulders and maybe just 2cm too long on the sleeve but too wide around the waist. I told her that I would move the buttons tonight for a better fit.

Child1 and 2 went to the bus stop to await for the school bus. Child 3 went to his godfather. Husband and I went to the car and sat there for over 10 minutes. The car was working but the wipers were not. Our wipers are temperamental. If it is foggy, wet, snowy, cold, humid the wipers will not work. Unfortunately this morning it was only 3 degrees and raining so we had no chance.

I ended up taking the bus as I was running very late. In a way that was very good as I collected a new metro newspaper and saw the article about TC Maddie. How fab is that?

I got to work later than usually. My husband used the ultimate tool to fix the car. He sprayed WD40 and that did the trick. Unfortunately he was also late this morning.

I then realised that I had sent child 3 to school without the lunch money. I hope the school still feed him. I am sure they will. I also realised that I hadn’t told his sisters to pick him up.

28 days till the next break and counting…..
