Only a couple of days and you’ll be back at school. The holidays are almost over. Do you remember that feeling? I know I do.
School was OK but holidays were just so wonderful. I used to wish that they would never end. Holidays are great no matter how old you are but there’s something magical about school holidays.
Our kids are on holiday at the moment. They head back to school on Monday. This school holiday is simply the 2 week break between term 3 and 4 but 2 weeks is 2 weeks and they’ve been having a wonderful time. Pauline always ensures plenty of wonderful activities for Emily and James.
I used to get particularly annoyed by the advertising in the summer holidays. Weeks before the new school year started I’d start seeing back to school signs everywhere. They’d have big signs up in shopping centres, they’d advertise back to school sales on TV and radio and the newspaper would be littered with back to school ads. Then the letterbox would fill up with catalogues full of back to school specials. I didn’t need reminding that the holidays would have to end.
Some parents love school holidays – others can’t wait for the little darlings to get back to school. I just wish that I could have every school holiday off with the kids.

I know exactly what you mean. My kids have been in school for a few weeks. I know my wife is happy that they are back in school, but I am not so sure. The one thing that I regret the most is homework. I thought that after I finished law school I was finally finished with homework for the rest of my life. No such luck. Now, I get to relive my childhood by helping my kids with their homework. I don’t like it any better now than I did when I was a kid.
