The last couple of days

Yesterday my best friend text me and asked how my day was going and I almost text back blah don't ask it's not great. I didn't at the point text back because my first response was I'm sorry there is no one home to return a message. Mainly as there are a couple of things in my life that are up in the air and I was having a meeting about some of it yesterday. I was a little aprehensive about this meeting and not knowing if I was going to get any answers or if I was still going to be hanging. That didn't help my mood! It was the last day of the holidays and I love having the kids around even though they drive me batty at times! So facing the whole back to school routine as well as in my mind.

Driving to my meeting I was thinking of what things I needed to bring up and just was wondering how I was going to react and what my offerings were going to be if there was big changes. Coming home I felt ok, but realising that there is going to be a shake-up and that there are quite big challenges ahead make me a little overwhelmed and nervous. But in bite sized pieces they will be managable and by taking each step one at a time and not trying to predict how things are going to be, I'm sure it'll be fine.

So last night was Iconz (modern boys brigade) family bbq to start the year. It was great at a little bay called Corsair Bay, it's a beautiful spot. The kids were swimming, they had rafts and canoes there as well. The weather was good and the water was warm...I know this cause I went in and swam - it was so good I loved being out in the ocean just floating about (no surf at this bay). A good way to end the holidays...

School went back this morning, the kids were mostly ok apart from Missy who thru a big tantrum because she wasn't going. But she went and she was fine - of course. All the kids wanted me to come to their classes, even Miss A who is in High School (although at the same school she's been since she started school at 5!)..so I met the teachers and enjoyed watching them catch up with friends and then I walked home. I get home and hubby is off out on a job so it's just me here, I do feel a little lost with the quiet and peacefulness of being here alone. I look around thinking where are they? And why in the holidays does lunchtime get here so quick today it's feeling like lunchtime and it's 10.30am! Todays dragging on, but on that hand comes the benefit of school - I have quite alot of paperwork and accounts done, that would have most likely taken longer had the kids been here and I would have had the interuptions. I'm looking forward to hearing about the kids day at school the first for year9,year7,year4 and year2 for them...
