- 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. -

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".
