It's one of those days when I find it hard to get motivated and just end up plodding through the normal tasks of housework. On days like these I find myself daydreaming about a career and having a cleaner! I love being a mummy and working from home but days like today I wish I was a lawyer or a teacher or something else. The summer will be here soon and everything looks a lot rosier then and the days are longer and seem more relaxed. Will it ever stop raining??????
At least my children are at a good school and won't have to go through the awful lottery of getting a good school place in the next few years, (there's only one high school in our town). I do not envy any of those families waiting for the envolope to drop through the door today. I can rememebr the feeling of complete failure when I failed my 12+, having been expected to pass. Mum decided to send me to an all girls secondary school, out of catchment, but failed to realise that this would mean to see my friends at weekends and in school hols she would have to drive me there, as the buses were few and irregular. Maybe in the long term I did better going to that school rather than the high school or the local secondary school but I don't think it helped not having friends just around the corner. Anyway my thoughts are with those children who may face the look of failure from their parents in the next 48 hours but it doesn't mean they are doomed. I still got an excellent education and went on to uni so don't give up just yet.
