Holidays...

I am absolutely shattered. This past week has been the most hectic so far of the term. Thank God I've got some down time now.

Having said that - we've just appointed a new technician to replace the one who walked out 2 weeks ago, so I'll be going in to help her familiarise herself with the school and her job. Plus, I need to go in to finish some marking that I don't want hanging over my head in the new term, and to do some lesson prep for next term.

In addition, the Baba Indaba show is in less than a month and I don't even have samples of the nappies yet (although I should do by the end of next week). So on that front, I'm feeling incredibly stressed. When I was telling one of my kids about all this, he replied - 'Ma'am, you just have to make some time for yourself!' Wise words coming from someone so young. I am determined to do just that... so now I'm off to bed to read a book or something.

Thank God we've got 2 weeks!
