For the last couple of days I've been sorting out their school stuff. My kind friend (who has four kids of her own) helped me cover their books (30+) (so far beyond the expectations of any friendship...). They look beautiful. Only one of the dozen+ that she contacted had anything like a bubble. Not so for the ones I did!
But David Tennant makes even a bad contact job attractive!
Anyway, I'm hoping for a few days off. I'm thinking 6 hours in an air conditioned coffee shop with some books, some pencils and some blank paper. Bliss! Surely no teacher will need a sicky this week?
I'm looking forward to some kid-free time too! Our contacting happens next week, after the kids go back. The school provides the books (private school :)) and send them home.
ReplyDeleteIt would be rude of a teacher to need a relief teacher in the first week! Your plan sounds good. My youngest is heading off to Kindy for two days a week. I feel strangely torn between shedding a tear or two on the Kindy verandah and skipping all the way home to a peaceful cup of tea and a good book...
ReplyDeleteIf I had cool David Tennant contact covered books, I might be tempted to go back to school. At least for a week.
ReplyDeleteWell done Mum! Enjoy the coffee shop Simone.
