The Bitter Sweet of Back To School

0
0

I know it’s still the summer holidays but I feel we’ve rounded the corner.  We’re on the downhill slip slide to thinking about name tags, facing the dreaded shoe buying expedition and it won’t be long before we’re scrabbling about for PE Kits.  School is a particularly bitter sweet thing for me this year.  I guess like many working parents I muddle through the holidays somehow cobbling together extra childcare, working longer evenings and cutting back where I can.  I do accept that this is how it is when you work for yourself and throw myself wholeheartedly into the mayhem of the summer weeks but when the end of the school holiday is in sight I can’t help admitting I breathe a tiny sigh of relief that order will soon be restored.

This year feels different though.

It’s my daughter’s last pre school summer holiday.  Add to that the fact that I’m a nostalgic old fool and you’ll see there’s no hope :) .  In September she’ll be joining big brother on her scooter through the school gates to stay this time and I feel kind of funny about that!  I’m pleased for her – she’s so ready for it.   It’ll just be a gear shift and mind adjustment for me.  In many ways I have had this date on my horizons for so long.  I started KidsTravel2 to fit around the children while they were growing up so I could be at home with them and work around them.  I set myself a target – if it had grown significantly by the time Rosie started school I would continue with it.  We’re here.  I’m pleased to say with the support of our loyal customers and followers it has and I’m excited to roll up my sleeves and really develop the business with all the ideas I have had bubbling inside me for so long.

So, I’m going with the flow – reflecting back on the happy, fun packed summer holiday we have had and looking forward to whatever the future holds!

What do the end of the summer holidays mean for you?
