School holidays do have an impact in the office. You can tell when people come to work early and less stressed as parents do not need to get up extra early braving traffic jams sending their children to school. What a relief it must be for parents.
But for me i’m aching, emotional, hoarse from shouting and ready to fall into bed early most nights. Yes its school holiday time.
Also my bank balance couldn’t cope with all the days out if it 365, but school holidays are making me just enough to make it special and affordable. Though sometimes the purse strings get a little tight and we have to find more economical ways to have fun. The reality is we just enjoy being together as a family.
This year has been a little different,my hannah n aqil wanted to go their own way a little more but all in all once they are away from their peers they forget about acting like cool teenagers and relax and remember fun has no age restrictions.
I love spending time with my family and to be honest I’m shocked that we are already over half way through the holidays. Note to self finish shopping for new uniforms, books and so much to think off.
Currently, i am enjoying more quality time with my children...
If I’ve given you the impression that school holidays are a smooth, bump free couple of weeks for me and my lot, I apologized. Because as any stay at home parent knows, no school holiday is complete without tantrums, silly arguments and fights over a particular ipad, ipod,mac air or silly tv especially the korean running man. But of course that’s all part of the package of having children and is evened up by me receiving more hugs, kisses and constant “I love you”s from the children when they’re at home.
Having said that, as much as I love having more quality time with my children, I find that by the end of the school holidays I am a that exhausted and very much looking forward to send them off at their boarding school and getting some quiet day time.
I have enjoyed every minute. Yes it’s been tiring even frustrating at times (did I mention I have teens). But every day, every moment I get to spend with my children is a gift. They grow so quick and what I’ve learned the hard way is you can’t turn back time.
I am here enjoying the holidays and remember they are only children for such
a small time. yes enjoy, embrace and make memories...
