Easter this week – what a clever idea – two weeks before the end of
term, we have a little ‘practice’ holiday so that we can find out how
we will manage with the full time care of our children, without the
support and distraction of their teachers, and the endless resources
of the craft room.
To spice up the challenge, we get to fire the little darlings up with
chocolate. Should be a laugh!
As a mother who is still on detention at parenting school for letting
down the side during the summer holidays and resorting to sports camp
and cocktails to get the family through the last couple of weeks, I,
for one, appreciate this trial run.
Here’s hoping – and if it all goes horribly wrong, we know we can
bring them back to school on Tuesday.
