Is "I haven't felt like it" a good enough excuse for not blogging?
I hope so. I have a fair few reviews to write up, including a holiday, and hundreds of ideas for blog posts.
We had such a chilled-out holiday that it's been a struggle to get going since our return. The super summer of sport has grabbed our attention. We've had some amazing family days out too, to the Paralympics and as tourists in London. We had three birthdays in four days. Until last week it was still the summer holidays for us. In the evenings I've been spending time with my husband, learning to crochet and reading reading reading. The internet hasn't held my attention.
The school the boys are going to has a rather long induction process. Presley's first day was Monday, Cash doesn't start until Friday (and then it's only part time until the end of September). Cash is lost without his big brother and so am I. Presley is loving school and bounded in with a smile. Cash can't wait to go. I'm looking forward to some time to myself during the day. It's all good.
Everyone is asking me what I'm going to do when they're both at school full time.
In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger...
I'll be back.

How come Cash doesn't start at the same time? Are they staggered by age?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they're both going to love it and no doubt you will make the most of that extra time.

@Tasha, sorry to reply so late - where does the time go? Yes, it's a staggered start, the younger ones were part time until yesterday.
DeleteYou're right, they are enjoying it and I've written four blog posts this week :) x
Always nice to hear an update from you. Sounds like things are going well - I'm so glad Presley is settling well at school and hope Cash does just as well.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a few wobbles here - my daughter was fine for the first week, but dropoffs have got a lot more emotional this week - I think reality has started to bite. Hopefully she'll get used to it all soon.
@geekmummy, I hope C is enjoying school more now. Both my two have started well, but I'm sure there will be a day when they don't want to go in and that will be tough.
DeleteGlad all is going well and you are doing well too. hugs x
ReplyDelete@Susan, thank you x
DeleteJoin the club, am behind with everything but blogging is taking a back seat at the mo as I'm sooo busy in work and so tired when I get home.
ReplyDeleteWe will get there eventually!

@BNM, I hadn't realised how much I was getting done in the two hours the boys were at nursery. I've got a massive to do list that's been building up since the start of the school holidays. We WILL get there :)
DeleteGlad it is not just me who disappears for a while. Sometimes I just need to focus on family and home without distractions. Thanks for the update!
ReplyDelete@MOIxx, disappearing is good. Next year I'll take the whole summer holiday off and not worry about it.
DeleteKnow what you mean, it takes a while to get back into the swing of things and the school routine. Good to hear the boys are settling into school though. My youngest has started preschool so I have more time to myself but it seems to fly by at the mo! Big hugs xxx
ReplyDelete@Louise, I hope you're enjoying your little bit of free time. I struggled in the school holidays without my short daily break x
