I feel like the only mum on the planet who isn’t happy school is back. I miss my children so much, but more than that, I miss many things that make school holidays so incredibly awesome.
Just as a disclaimer, I write this as a parent who is lucky enough to have a flexible work arrangement. I really feel for mums who have to go to work during the school holidays and I help them out as much as I can. It isn’t unusual for me to have a couple of extra kids at my house most days during the school holidays which is fine by me.
1. Sleep ins;
2. Not having to stick to a schedule;
3. Having them waiting for me at home when I came home from my three work appointments per week;
4. Not having to iron school uniforms;
5. Not having to pack school lunches;
6. Having breakfast with them in our pyjamas, at 10am;
Actress Elizabeth Banks made an ad about women who don’t even have time to have a heart attack. Looks like a typical school morning to me.
7. Playing endless rounds of card game UNO;
8. Watching my son create his own computer game by teaching himself how to code;
9. Snuggling with my daughter while watching TV;
