In Limbo Land – Sun 10th July 2016
By Jeannette | July 10, 2016
It’s T and D’s last week of school coming up before the summer holidays, normally I’d be thinking ahead, wondering if we could manage some trips out (even if just to the shops) and factoring in best time of day to go (ie when not so many people about) etc.
I can’t, I feel like we’re in limbo land, but I can’t let on to the children, I have to present my usual calm aura (even though I feel like a swan, paddling furiously, beneath the surface).
I was due to have an op this week, it got refused due to funding and the appeal is underway. It would have meant six weeks of immobility for me, but that was okay because of the upcoming summer hols and therefore no school runs. Obviously it’s not happening this week but, if the appeal is successful, I could have a week or so’s notice of it being done. Which isn’t ideal when the children have routines and a need to know in advance.
I don’t want to worry them by saying that it could be happening but, at the same time, I can’t promise super-duper things if suddenly it’s all systems go.
So, there you go. The children have had their much-needed calm day, ahead no doubt of a very changeable week at school, my mind is elsewhere.
Hopefully I’ll hear something soon.
