I think I am experiencing that terrible feeling we used to get as kids on the last day of the holidays. The kids go back in the morning, and we get back into the swing of life again as well. In many ways, I think I would prefer it if the Christmas Holidays were shorter and the Easter or Summer were longer, at least we could enjoy the weather more.
I will spend most of tomorrow writing session plans and getting diaries and planners up to date in readiness for what will be a hugely busy year. In particular, the first four months are going to be insane, and I think that is why I have that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. We are going to attempt to move house as well as be involved in about ten productions. The Pottery needs to continue, and hopefully Kirsty will get a place on the PGCE course for next year also. This is couples with various GCSE’s for eldest, and the planning required for the rest of the year and beyond. It has been a welcome period of being able to switch off to a degree, which I think we all needed, but I’m not sure it is ever good to switch off for too long. I am looking forward to Wednesday and the first session back after Christmas. It’s always good to see everyone again and I think I thrive off of their energy in some ways.
In terms of health I had not been well from the end of October right the way through until a few days ago, when I started to feel like some energy was returning. I used to find some solace on being ill as a child. I think I enjoyed the moping around and the chance to do nothing but read. However, now I am a grown up (Apparently) I find nothing more frustrating, and I am delighted to feel a little more alive than I have done in what seems an age. Hopefully a few constructive days will follow and I can begin to relax a little more into what is going to be a tough period for us.
