GOOD LUCK!!!!

It'll never feel like the right time to go back. YOu could keep on pushing it back further and further. Your girls would be 18 before you felt it was right But you'll be fine, and so will your lovely little girls

Enjoy your half term- try and do as little school work as possible too.

It's amzing how quickly you'll settle back in yg. When I got there first morning back it was as if I'd never been away. You'll be in the swing and in the thick of it and you'll also be so busy you won't have time to think. The thinking beforehand is actually worse

I know yg. I don't want to be back at work at all and in an ideal world would stay at home until dd is settled in primary. But needs must and I'm trying to make the most of it. Think of it as a positive thing- the dosh, the stimulation, the pension, the holidays...

I know there's a lot of extra work with teaching but just remember- if you worked in an office you'd only get 4/5 weeks holidays a year- look at the hassle arranging childcare when dd's are in school. At least this way you're off when they are- apart for inset. Try and be positive to get through it yg. will be sending the positive vibes
