This is just a message for anyone out there who wants to cheer me up. My lovely children went back to school today - they are 8,6 and 4. My 4 year old doesn't actually start until next week. But I feel really sad. I love having them at home. It's been a long summer. I've always been a stay-at-home mum, and we've enjoyed lots of happy days together. There have been fraught moments, but we managed to get through it all, and we all felt sad when they went to bed last night that the summer hols were over.
Today, they came home from school and were appallingly behaved. I ended up losing my temper and now I feel really guilty. They are all beautifully snuggled up in bed, but then I feel sad for shouting etc.
In the meantime I am waiting for a phonecall from my friend's husband who has left his wife and 3 kids, and I need to get my head around it all because I am offering a lot of moral support to them, and he wants to know how they are doing.....as you can imagine, not my ideal night in.
I'd relly appreciate a friendly message.
Thanks. x
