Yay, back to school
The kids over here go back to school tomorrow, after the six week holiday. I've been at home with them for most of it, went back to work on Friday =, I took time off sick, partly due to stress, partly because they pay me and I felt I needed a break.
I've been trying to show Joe how to tie a tie this evening, it's funny to watch him, he's tying himself in knots and getting frustrated. I know he'll get it by tomorrow morning though. He's just starting high school this year.
I feel so sad, because he's so proud of his brand new uniform, his new bag, even his new pencil case, he's even agreed I can take his photo which is usually a big no no. But his Dad isn't around to share it with him. It can't be the same sharing it with Aunty Luce, especially when his Dad lives two minutes walk up the road and hasn't even bothered to phone and wish him well.
Things like this just bring it home to me more. Thanks for reading.
