Yeesh. It is the school holidays. I DO love the school holidays because it’s so nice to NOT have to drag the kids out of the house at an early hour. I DO love the school holidays because it’s so nice to all hang out together. I DO love the school holidays because my kids tend to sleep in quite late and the quiet morning times are a teensy bit extended. I DO love the school holidays because these ones are Eastery and Easter is my very favourite time of year. I DO love the school holidays because sometimes we cook a nice lunch AND a nice dinner. I DO love the school holidays because the kids can say up later and I don’t feel like a bunchy old nag in the evenings. I DO love the school holidays because the roads are quieter and there are kids hanging out in my neighbourhood. I DO love the school holidays because there are no notes, forms, plates to share etc etc. I DO love the school holiday. I DO.
But I don’t love ‘What are we going to do today?’ I don’t love that. I don’t mind it on day one or day two or day three or day four. But by the second week it hurts my brain. Sorry. I am being tetchy about the ‘What are we going to do today?’ I don’t want to be an amusement park. I am SUCH a cow, aren’t I? Geesh. *punches self in arm* Stop being a cow, Pip. Sorry dudes.
On another note : YOU will LOVE this.
Also : please please read Eden’s blog posts about her trip to Niger
And : how good is the new season of Mad Men?! Oh MY!
xx Pip
I just watched Caine's Arcade! I'm just about in tears!! LOL Awesome!
My girls learned at a very young age that "I'm bored" was an open invitation for spring cleaning… and it didn't have to be spring.
Exactly Pip. Love it but sometimes want to scream – get off that screen!!! (actually I do scream that!) But gosh holidays are sooo much nicer than real life! x
It seems that once kids hit high school, they can't amuse themselves out of site from a tv/computer screen. Well, mine anyway. Nearly over then you can relish the quietness during school hours.
Sigh. Cool blog. In another life, BK (before kids), I went to Niger too. Awesome.
HA! i feel like too! My kids aren't in school yet, but everyday coming up with something new and exciting to do with them is draining at times.
and YES loving new season of Mad Men… have you seen Dons apartment feature on Oyster? Gawd i want to live there!
