Holiday time

Two sleeps until our family holiday. I am feeling mixed emotions about the whole thing:

• Excited - we've been feeling very run-down, so a rest is in order.
• Guilty - our jobs involve term-time teaching and other responsibilities. I'm feeling guilty at leaving those responsibilities mid-stream.
• Thankful - our two-week flu seems to be settling down now, so I'm grateful that we won't be travelling with an illness cloud over our heads.
• Stressed - I wrote down a list of things that I needed to pack for the kids. It took up two A4 pages. I know I'm going to forget something.
  
• Anticipation - we're going to catch up with my Grandmother while we're away, which is both a responsibility and a blessing.

We'll be away for two weeks, so this blog will be silent for the duration. See you when we get back!
