School: almost back to normality

The kids are all in school! Our five year old twins started kindy this year! No more preschool fees! Five days a week of free daycare! I can pick up all 3 kids from the same place! No more worrying about whether or not my mother-in-law can take care of the twins on the 2 days per week they were not in preschool!

As for the Christmas holidays... are they really a holiday?? Or just an exercise in patience as you try to find stuff to do to keep the kids amused and out of trouble? What happened to that quiet time off work – reading a book for hours – a nap after lunch - in my dreeeeeeams

Don't misunderstand me I adore my three little men but they are still small, demanding, unrelenting and have unfortunatley inherited selective deafness from their dad. Where is the time for me – time alone in the laundry sorting clothes just does not cut it!

But this year will be better... they are all in school... and I almost feel free!
