Onwards – Fri 12th Feb 2016
By Jeannette | February 12, 2016
I don’t think I’ve looked forward to a half term quite as much as this week, I’ve found it very tough.
Not just because T has been so ill, I’ve been grateful that I can be around at home for him, although it’s felt like he’s needed a service bell at times, it’s been the repercussions for D.
Every day has meant a change to routine for her and she’s said virtually every morning “I suppose T has another day off and started his half term early”, she’s been very unempathetic and envious. It’s been difficult.
In the afternoon – apart from the one day she’d won her medal – she’s whizzed past us, stony-faced and not even meeting our eyes before bolting around the corner outside (thankfully she goes no further) and huddles up, waiting to get home. And then she’ll see T, remember he’s been off and get annoyed again.
It certainly hasn’t been easy. So….the chance of a break from school runs and some 1:1 time will be very welcome.
Hopefully by the end of next week, I’ll be looking back and thinking “wow that went quickly and wasn’t it an okay time?” Hope so.
