I Wish It Was Still The School Holidays!

It’s not my kids saying they wish it was the school holidays… it’s ME! I tell myself, “It’s the 8th of January already for goodness sakes… snap out ot it Andrew!”

I can’t help it. It takes me a long time to get over the school holidays. The hols mean crazy late nights playing board games with Sam and Sara, midnight snacks and ice cream, then late breakfasts and totally screwed up schedules. When you run a home based catering business, that translates to total madness in the kitchen. And don’t even mention my blog. You know how they say if you’re gonna start a blog, don’t leave it unattended for more than a week? Well the people who say that obviously need to spend a month in my shoes.

Since the new school year started on 3rd January, I miss the whining and bickering and the squeels of laughter when Sam and Sara are up to mischief. I miss having Sam looking over my shoulder to see what Papa is typing on the computer then being a nosybody asking about this and that. I miss Sara busily rummaging for stuff for her latest impromptu art project. I miss her slowly sidling up beside me asking, “Waaaaatcha dooooin?”. I am a total kid addict. I anxiously wait for the school bell to ring so’s I can be with them. I must be the world’s most sorriest looking Dad in the world when I’m not with my kids.

Anyway… like it or not, the kids are back to school and that is good news for my business, websites and (hopefull this blog). I got in 2 solid hours of work on my websites this morning although I absolutely hate the silence. And now that the kids are fed and napping, I’m typing this. It’s the calm before the daily storm. In ten minutes, it’ll be off to the kitchen to cook, pack the food into tiffins and I’m off on my delivery route.

I wish it was still the school holidays.
