Holiday musings

Once again, I am on holiday - if you read this blog, it always seems to be holiday time for me! It is definitely one of the perks of being a teacher - people complain we're not paid enough (and that may be true), and that the job's really stressful (again, not really arguing!), but one thing we CAN'T complain about is the holidays (although having said that, it is annoying that you can never get a cheap deal because you have to take your holidays with everyone else!!!). Holidays are perfect times to just sit back, relax and re-charge your batteries! And what better place to do that then Mum and Dad's!!!

I came back yesterday (stopping along the way to see GORGEOUS Josh - and Hannah and Tez - toddling about - SO CUTE!), and I am REALLY enjoying being here! I think I forgot how much Mum looks after me - tea, biscuits, cake, neck massages, washing.......fantastic! I like being independent but it's definitely worthwhile regressing back to living with Mum and Dad every now and then - I think because I'm the youngest and not all grown up like Hannah with a hubby and a child I fall back into the routine of being looked after very quickly!! :) And what's great is that I've been promised another neck massage tonight!! Woohoo!!!
(Just in case you're reading this thinking 'how self-involved is she?' I just want to point out that it's not all take, take, take on my part, I did actually put my own washing in the machine, and hang it out yesterday, and I helped with the washing up, and I drove Mum to work this morning, and I'm taking her to the airport tomorrow morning when she and Dad go to Sweden.......!!)
