Half term woes

So it's February. A bleak sort of month. And my school has a 2 week half term so I am now wallowing my way through the 2nd chilly grey week. I am feeling glum and lazy. I should have booked a cheap ski trip. But my children's schools are in this week, oh! and I am broke. (£350 gas bill that arrived makes doubly sure of this)

We had 2 weeks off in October too and by this point in week 2 I was actually slightly mad. Over-thinking every decision I have ever made and hiding from all the actual things I ought to have been doing. Crying a lot.

I think I largely have avoided the madness this time around. I haven't cried at all this week. There was a momentary slip where I indulged in a bit of seriously unhealthy cyberstalking. It's never a good idea to go and re-find those accidently unsecured photographs that tell you "yes she really is much thinner, prettier and richer and 'yes' she has the man too".

Still have a lot of NQT business to attend to before next Monday too. I have an A2 unit to teach that is feeling very foggy at the moment. I  MUST get to grips with that. It's a new unit, so there are no resources to bastardise on the usual websites. Lots to do from scratch. That will keep me out of trouble. Mostly.
