Feel a bit mean, but so excited for tomorrow

Dh back to work
Dc back to school

I am the type who normally feels sad holidays are over and kids are back and so on, but this holiday hasn’t been great and I cannot wait for 9 am tomorrow.
I intend to stop at the shop for treats and spend until pick up watching Netflix shows…blissfully alone! (aside from the dogs-who are no trouble)

Ours aren’t back until Tuesday but looking forward to the routine returning then!

Yabu becase I’m going back to work tomorrow - waaaaah!

Ignore the naysayers you have every right to be excited - simple pleasures are the best , people should be able to be happy for others.

Enjoy the peace!

Don't feel mean- I'm back in work tomorrow and I'm a bit excited to have a coffee in the office in peace 😂

OP do you not realise that a large majority of people reading this will in fact be going back to work having had very little break at all.

Sounds lovely! I hope you have a great time!

(am very jealous of your lifestyle. Am dreading the return to work)

If you’re mean then so am I, because me too!
