Feel a bit mean, but so excited for tomorrow

This made me laugh - not in a mean way, just in recognising the days where 8am was a lie in. My daughter is 10 and I've just posted we had some lovely lie-ins and I meant until 10am and 11am! I've just realised that's the first time she's been sleeping that late and that she's truly into tween territory now.

It sounds like you've had a fantastic, balanced break.

Back to work tomorrow, but also looking forward to a bit of peace tbh. I work in a school but it isn't the same as being at home with bored kids and dh getting grumpy

I’m so jealous! This was me until I got an email a few hours ago saying school is closed due to the snow 😆. Hopefully they’re back in school on Friday for my next day off.

Enjoy your day off 😀

I'll be WFH for 10hrs, but oh my word the kids will be in schoooooool! Get in! Hubby will still be here, but he will feed and water me.

I am will jel you'll get to watch Netflix all day, though. Still! Enjoy that peace!

Are you referring to OP ?? I think she said she works🤔
I've been kept by my ex h whilst raising our kids as a sahm and I loved it ertainly not annoyed why would I have been? When we divorced he signed the house over to me, win win.

I was one of the few who actually preferred my 3 children to be home from school than at school!
I lived for half term.
It was so much easier when they were home, especially with my SN daughter who had so many problems at school, it was heaven to go to 10am in the mornings and not have the school on the phone complaining about my daughter or me having to be called into school yet again!

I’m excited too! Only there’s now every chance the school will be closed because of the snow (college has already called it that they’ll stay closed) Noooooo! Lol

YANBU! I don’t have work tomorrow so have booked myself a solo cinema trip at 10am - can’t wait

Enjoy! This isn't me this time, this time I've had a lovely break doing fuck all for once, and I've had some lovely long lies with my daughter. I'm always genuinely sad to be apart from her, especially now that she's a bit older. I feel a bit like I'm missing something for a couple of days. Although it's not the endless snack requests 😅

Same here, OP, woo hoo! Slightly sad that the tee will be coming down, though. But that’s mainly because I can’t really be arsed to do it

Nope. I have to go back to work. I’ve been sick all holiday (10th until a few days ago) flu then a nasty sinus infection and massively inflamed vocal cords and swollen neck for a good two weeks. I was in bed for days at a time. Xmas didn’t happen. Didn’t even have the strength to put up the xmas tree or cook Xmas dinner. In fact we had a sort of roast today to make up for it. I’ve only just gotten my voice to its normal pitch.

next bout of illness idngaf i am taking it off sick even if i feel well enough to work.

I don’t get to choose my holidays and this is the 3rd Xmas in a row ive been really unwell and ive only been in this job 3yrs.

Yes, those of us not working tomorrow should all resort to self flagellation to a soundtrack of Leonard Cohen.

I bet she probably does realise this. Everyone's circumstances are different & she's talking about hers in particular.
I'm looking forward tomorrow too. Dh back to work & I'll have the house to myself to clean & potter about.
The best bit is I retired early from my job before Xmas. I'd put up with being spoke to like muck & low level bullying for the last 5 years. I'll be snuggling under the duvet tomorrow morning, at the time I would normally have got to work. I can imagine my ex boss getting in early tomorrow morning, after sitting in heavy traffic, scowling, snapping & under pressure as it's month end. Bliss 🤣

Bye.

It's getting more and more ridiculous.
Nearly too ridiculous to be true.
Almost like HQ post things like this on purpose to keep us frothing and posting.

YES to this. No more children swinging off my consult table and wheeling around on my chair!!

Oh my god. I’m off. Fuck this.

She doesn't say this anywhere.

Talk about making up utter bullshit

God I’m devastated

reception child and nursery baby here - we’ve had the most wonderful 2 weeks together - out every day for big walks and been to all the farms and out for lovely picnics and hot chocolates every day (lucky me he weather been so beautiful - freezing! But we are wrapped up warm

lazy evenings watching films!

my husband said he feels like he proper got to know our 18 month old as he is in work so much and spends such little time with him in the evenings after work!

let the kids stay up a little later than usual and we’ve ended up all sleeping in until 8am everyday - no idea how we will all get up at 7 tomorrow and out the door at 8 🤣🤣

it’s honestly been amazing (husband and I took loads of turns to go off and have days too ourselves as well - proper good balance of family and solo time I felt

i am one of those people and yes i am jealous of OP!
but nothing wrong with them posting this, we don’t have to read and interact with it if we don’t want to :) there’s always people in different circumstances who’s days/work patterns are different. this is like saying people can’t say “thank goodness it’s the weekend” because some people work them?

I’m one of these, only 2 days off BUT I say fair bloody play to OP!! Enjoy every second lovely and do not feel guilty in the slightest! X

It's DD's birthday tomorrow so we are trying to keep the party going while all feeling a bit tired! She has a day off work, I am freelance so won't be looking at my work until Tuesday, so one last hurrah tomorrow before the decorations come down. I do dread this time of year as we own ponies and the bad weather always tends to hit in February so this feels like the calm before the storm. Enjoy your day, OP!

Oh get over yourself.
Lots of people in the same boat.
None of this is the ops fault.
Ignore her post if it offends you.
