Two week half term coming up
As Half term approaches and the mum's are getting ready to welcome the kids back for two weeks.......how are they feeling? and how have the last 4 or so weeks been?
I can't wait to see her and give her loads of hugs. It's been a very difficult week, and I'm going to be giving her extra hugs and letting her talk if she needs to. Then I think she'll want to lay in bed for a couple of days, before meeting up with her friends from her old school. I think it's important that she keeps in touch with her old friends because all the new ones from CH live so far away.
It's seems like such a long time since I last saw her, but it's been less than three weeks. The time has dragged.

Hello all
Been a bit busy lately so v little time to post...
I have to admit to having had a very low point just before half term. I think the reality of DS being away at school really hit me and I seemed to get a touch of "empty nest" syndrome. This really is a bit of a disjointed life for me - snatched moments on mobile phones & looking forward to the occasional e-mail. Blimey! It's an affair!
No, seriously...
It is a case of adjustment on both sides and the trouble with us parents is that we think about it a bit too much whereas the kids just get on with it (I think... )
Happy to report that DS still adores it and we had a full but happy half term. I was extremely grateful to have had the two weeks - there was almost no-one around for the first week so we wandered about quietly, getting used to each other's company again then had a riotous second week full of shows, parties & crafty halloween activities. I'm exhausted & I think he was too. He went back to school without a backward glance - I find it fascinating how he just seems to merge into the general body of kids once he gets there. Off with the old & on with the new!
Now we're looking forward to the School Concert on Sunday which we have tickets for, thanks to a lovely Mrs Gloria Williams in the box office. To go off on a tangent - aren't the CH support staff lovely? Mrs Brakes, the School Office... nobody seems to mind stupid questions!

My parents lived near when I was at Horsham and were very supportive, coming to lots of concerts, plays and matches and even braving the London crowds for St Matthew's Day and the Lord Mayor's Show. It was always good from my point of view to have someone there to see us doing the things we really loved. I hope that you enjoy Sunday. Is DS involved?huggermugger wrote:Now we're looking forward to the School Concert on Sunday which we have tickets for, thanks to a lovely Mrs Gloria Williams in the box office.

Chuffed to bits for you that everything is going well!
Drop them a very brief line, or even an email, to tell them what you've told us. When you work in direct contact with 'the public' in any way, complaints become a fact of life. Praise and thanks are rare and therefore truly appreciated when received. You'll make their day!huggermugger wrote:Now we're looking forward to the School Concert on Sunday which we have tickets for, thanks to a lovely Mrs Gloria Williams in the box office.
