Dont get me wrong i love having my beloved children around me but i do feel the six weeks holidays are far to long. My kids are bored within the first few weeks and now i am counting down the days until school resumes this year we have had a lot of snow days, training staff days, easter holidays then this six week break with another week in october i feel its too much and needs to be spread more evenly.

In the shop today I had two groups of mother, with very well behaved children, both saying they wished school had started.
Melissa...
Be grateful it is only six weeks, when my children were young the summer holiday was eight weeks.
. By the time the holiday finished I was broke and the children were bored stiff.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Well I can't wait for term to start so I can see my little angels again! I do miss them. ChrisP if you see this please say hi to your lovely daughter Honor and tell her I'll see her soon x
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".
