Just waiting

So many of us think being endlessly on holiday would be wonderful - and it's true that it's great to know I have time to do the mundane things like cleaning the house, keeping up with the washing and ironing, getting meals ready without frantically rushing etc. (actually that sounds suspiciously like being a housewife.  Hhmm.).  But it's also true that I really miss being at work. All my friends and colleagues are back at school today, catching up, sharing news, checking their class rolls and planning interesting classes (I hope!).  I wish I was too.  I know that in just over a month, when Grant is finally on holiday too and we have the excitement of travelling together and seeing all the wonderful new places neither of us have ever seen, I'll look back at this post and wonder what I was thinking!  Right now, I'd rather plan classes than clean the bathroom!
