All fine here. Just so tired all the time.

I am now working four full days a week so no wonder really..

Oh and my husband is just SO demanding…..

Ho Hum.. what a hard life I lead……not!

Seriously though, I am finding this extra day a week a bit tough. Where as before I worked Tue, Wed and Thur , I am now working Monday’s well. The thinking behind it was that one of us has to go twice a day to the Town where we used to live to do the School run for daughter, so, as that is also where I work, I might as well work an extra day as we would be travelling there anyway. Well that was the plan anyway. I first thought that I might work five days but just work School hours so therefore finish at 3.30pm. But daughter has so many after school activities that this would not have worked as we would then have to wait around for her anyway.

Our routine is that we get up and leave the house by 8.00am. This gets her to school between 8.20 and 8.25 depending on the traffic. Registration is 8.30 and she is then supposed to finish at 3.15. Because she has her GCSE’s this year, there are many afterschool classes for catch up/revision/course-work etc so it works out that most days she comes to the office at around 4.30/5.00pm and then waits until I finish and we travel the journey home together. Somedays, if she finishes at 3.15, and he is around and not working away from home, hubby will time his daily visit to his parents to co-incide with her finish time.

She is planning to return to school for A levels which is the qualification here if you want to go on to University and we have said that she should stay at the same school rather than transfer to one nearer home. The School is very highly regarded and has excellent results and suits daughter. There is a bus that she can catch home and we have said that from September onwards, she should catch this, rather than relying on us. Afterall, she is sixteen next week and it is about time she started becoming a little more independent and less reliant on us. She is not keen, I must say… still… it is a long time until September when te new Academic year begins… and things change.

Anyway.. this is a going nowhere really post isn’t it?

Well, its about as good as it is going to get I think..
