It’s back to school in Queensland tomorrow. Back to the school routine of drop offs, pick ups, library books, etc. DD isn’t happy about it despite having an extra three days of holidays due to the Covid lockdown that happened at the end of term 1. Is it back to school in other states too? Are your children excited about it or complaining? How about you? Glad to have them back to school or not wanting to get back to the school routine?

Pupil free day in NSW. I’ve had to take a day off annual leave so I’m further in negative as DH is so new in his job we both agreed too soon. Argh I think teachers are wonderful but they get enough holidays that surely pupil free days could be during holidays?

Mine are back later on this week but I thought it was next week. I am not ready to send them back! I had heaps more things I wanted to do with them. I like not needing a tight structure and relaxed bed times. I have 2 kids with additional needs and dealing with the school and seeing what problem will happen next is exhausting. One is super keen to go back. I think another is ok with it but the other one would happily stay at home. I used to dread the holidays, but my how it has changed! I only work a few days a week, so I am looking forward to peace and quiet at home.

My 2 youngest are back on Tuesday. Eldest is at uni so doesn’t break until I think June? I think they’re looking forward to going back; I worked over the holidays so it’s not like they did much exciting stuff. I’m happy to get them out of the house as they laze around a bit too much for my liking (also not good for DD’s mental health), but I’m not excessively excited about getting back into the extracurricular activity taxi service!
