Where did my babies go?

So, only 5 more sleeps until school starts. I am feeling a little sad that I will no longer have any children at home with me. It all seems strange. I am excited for the girls, they are going to enjoy school. Tegan will love the social interactions and Miranda will appreciate all the learning activities. I just feel a little nostalgic I guess about all the time we have had together at home. Anyway we are all set to go. I have contacted all of Blake's books and all the uniforms are named and ready to go. I can't believe how many people I know have children starting prep this year. Must have been a big 12 months for births (I had 2 in 10 months so there you go)

I also have a sick husband at the moment, he has a chest infection and a sore throat (but no tonsils, he had them removed as a child) so he is feeling sad and sorry for himself. As long as he keeps out of my way and doesn't breathe on me, all will be fine! I have no time for catching other people's germs.

Blake is excited/ nervous about starting his final year of primary school. St Bernardine's give all the year 7 students wonderful opportunities to take on leadership roles and to develop the skills which go along with this. He is also growing so tall. It is like he has grown before my eyes these holidays. He is 160cm (5'4 1/2") and we just had to buy size 6 men's shoes for him for school. Last year was only size 4. As I am 168 (5'7), there is not much difference in height anymore. Where did my little boy go?

Well, aside from the preparation for school, not much else is going on in Wezza's world.

The Countdown

So now we are counting down the days until school starts. Everyone has uniforms, shoes, school bags, lunch boxes etc, and Blake has his books. The girls do not need any books, they just need to bring in chux and tissues etc and a library bag. I am feeling excited but also a little anxious. It will be so strange to not have the girls at home anymore. I am looking into my options for what to do now they are at school, I didn't get a full time teaching job, so I need to see what happens. It is a little difficult as I really need to do something in school hours as Joseph starts work at 3 am so cannot take the kids to school and he does not have a set finishing time so I can't rely on him being able to pick the kids up after school either. And then there is school holidays.While my parents are available to look after the kids, I do not think that the kids should be away from home all the time and I don't want the girls to think now they have started school, I don't want to spend time with them. They are still only little kids. Miranda is only 4 and Tegan is 5. There is so much to think about even though the kids will not be at home during the day. So for now I will stick with relief teaching and explore some other options.

Anyway, that's what's happening in Wezza's world.
Until next time,
Keep Safe,
