26

I hit some sort of brick wall this week. My brain got scrambled. I couldn't sit still and I couldn't think straight. I was tetchy. I was weepy. A little bit "unstructured" on the emotional front. Do you know that feeling?

Well, it could be because whilst I'm trying so hard to educate and nurture my class, my own children seem to be missing out. Homework lost, packed lunch uneaten, books unchanged. I'm suffering from serious mum guilt.
We played a game together tonight, and suddenly they came alive again. I'm sure I wasn't imagining it. They literally lit up!

My kids. And me.

So this weekend, I'm shutting the door on the world, staying in my jammies, and spending time with the kids.
Playing games.
Eating cake.
Sleeping in.
Reading the paper.
Listening to the radio.
Watching films.
Washing hair.
Answering endless questions.
Picking up toys.
Being mum.

Wish me luck x
