To my dear children,
Six weeks together.
Eight with Moo.
School holidays are just about over. You have got your books,
all lovingly covered and named.
Your uniforms are pressed and shoes shined.
Everything you need is ready to go.
Goodies are baked.
Lunchboxes at the ready.
Hair cut and coloured.
Everything bright and shiny, ready for back to school.
Now get back to school already and leave me the fuck alone.
Love Mummy

Dear children, dont you just love them!!
6 weeks! I thought 3 weeks here was long!

6 weeks!! That’s hectic! No wonder you want them to go back to school!

Don’t you have camp there? We’ve got camp options for July and sometimes part of August, so the very most they’re without a place to go is 3-4 weeks. (Quite enough and a serious pain in the ass for us, too, since they’re much to young to be on their own and we both work. This year we’re taking the easy way out and going to my parents for the month. That’s the fun part of working from home. Home is where your internet connection is. Have laptop will travel.)

No no no!!!!
Don’t you realise that when they go back to school…. SO DO I?????
I don’t wanna….. it’s not fair….
summer holidays aren’t long enough. Only one more day of freedom.

I used to get 9-10 weeks off on holiday over summer! My parents reckoned the more they paid in school fees the more school holidays we got…
Well you are almost there now Kelley! You made it!

OMG, you are the queen of the reality check!
I still need to send you your winnings, I promise I won’t scare you and deliver it in person!

I imagine you feel a similar emotion and possibly similar physically, too, to people who are in the last mile of a marathon. Wobbly legged, a bit dehydrated, anticipating the end that is nearly there, the lovely warm space blanket and the trip home on the coach with all the other unwashed marathon lovelies with your shoes off suffocating the driver (sorry used to work for a coach company)… the hot bath, the huge meal, the massive sleep…
And you want this last mile to just fricking go…
Cheers

Enjoy your peace!

I can’t get my head around the fact that y’all are bass ackwards from us. Here it’s cold. You’re melting. Our kids are in school. Yours are home raising hell. The one constant is that the Foster’s is good.

Hip hip hooray for you. We still have another week.

Stupid holidays are way toooo long down here..we only have 3 terms not 4.. *sigh*

“now get back to school already and leave me the fuck alone”
Was this written on the purdy new stationary?
You really should write the “real Aussie mum’s guide to child raising”
Lesson 1: Fetch mummy a glass of wine and get the fuck outta my hair.

closely followed by lessong 2 - go OUTSIDE to play and don’t come back in unless you are bleeding enough to fill buckets
January 28th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Lesson 3- Unless you are offering me chocolate and/or coffee do NOT approach the room/house/street in which I am blogging.
Still got 52 weeks of homeschooling here LOL

Oh hail the temple - the almighty temple…….
Sounds like they’re giving you the start of a very fine book up above!! Could be onto something…….all the mums I know would buy it for a laugh!
January 28th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
roflmao…I haven’t laughed that hard all day. Thank you so much. And expect me to link to that in August when we go back after our summer break!!
January 28th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
There is something on my blog for you!
January 28th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
I hear ya! Oh the bliss of having a house to oneself. ENJOY!
Mine (with an ID and austistic tendencies) has just finished year 12 and starts TAFE in a week or two, after being off since late OCTOBER (deep breaths). She has a BIG SCARY new knife set for her commercial cookery course.
Wish us luck too!
January 29th, 2008 at 7:17 am
I am so with you!
January 29th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
That is indeed a long time, my dear.
Does it make me a bad mom that I can’t wait for my son to start going to school all day instead of just 3 1/2 hours?
Sigh, I already know the answer…
