Mental Elf Break
This has been a really busy month.
School holidays (3 weeks), including various childish illnesses and a short trip away.
Preparation for conference and for Term 2.
Conference starts.
Term 2 starts.
Son brings home nasty virus, shares it with sisters and father.
Weeks 2 and 3 of term are spent dashing in and out of school, depending on which child was sick and which parent had more urgent meetings. We postpone our youngest daughter’s third birthday due to her being too sick to enjoy anything.
Wednesday I had had enough, and decided to allow myself some time off. It was time to take care of my Mental Elf. I picked up a favourite book and read, and read, and left our children’s dinner to my husband and read, and went to yoga and came back and ate and had some wine and read my book some more.
Hubby catches the virus.
ABC television channels suddenly disappear from the digital set-top box.
It looks like I’ll have plenty of time to review the conference papers this weekend. That is, I’ll have time after caring for sick hubby, and performing parental duties, and housework, and school work, and cake-making.
