Title: Message from Jeannine
Post by: Jeannine on July 20, 2007, 19:18:47
Hi, apologies for being absent for a while, very tired , have just made it through to last day of term and am flat exhausted.

I have a few things to post post out which I have not forgotten about, they have just slipped to the bottom of the list. I also have a few messages to answer.

In the meantime a quick thank you to the two super folks who sent me bean seeds, they have arrived, I will contact you personally.

Bear with me please, I just need a real good sleep I think.

Talk to you all soon,

Love from Jeannine

Welcome back, Jeannine!  :) :)  Once you've rested don't try to do too much at once, otherwise you'll be kn*ckered again!  I think a lot of people are feeling like you at the moment, and not just because it's the end of the school year.

Get yourself a good nights sleep Jeannine and dream of the next 6 weeks of peace and quiet!
 
I have had a day full of tears today at school and am mighty glad it's over! ;D
 
Headmistress retirement assembly - floods of tears  :'( (she's been there for 23 years and seen all of my 4 chidlies through)  Deputy Head retirement assembly -yet more tears  :'( and then to top it all off, year 6 leavers parade! :'( (sobbing!). 

I'm all cried out and knackered too  ::)  ;D

Good to hear from you, Jeannien- we were getting worried! End of term is exhausting at the beat of times, without all the extra trauma you've had. Take some time for yourself, even if i's only a few days!

Thanks all, I have had 2 good nights sleep and am starting to feel less overwhelmed now, it will be a working holiday no doubt due to all the damage at school but not all day every day.

I actually got so that I couldn't see straight I was so tired.It is  silly to push to that degree but with the school, the lottie, the house which is stripped for building and decorating that came to a sudden stop,and then the voluntary work I do for a crisis centre which had trebled due to the flooding I guess I was expecting to much for my old bod and hed to cope with!!!

Anyway hed back on, bod catching up now.

I have no carpets on the stairs, landing or hallway, the bathroom is stripped down to the bare walls and floor, the dining room walls are stripped, 3 doors have been chucked out and all the skirting boards have been pulled off. So I feel as though I have been flood damaged too, but it is just refurbishing that came to a sudden stop.

Oh well, I shall have to look forward to being finished by Christmas now instead of summer!!

Lucky for you to have finished already - have THREE more days to go, and can't wait.   Do dread this time of yr when the yr2 leave to go to the Junior school - and the YR6 leave to the secondary school, which seems ever so grown up.  Sad but happy times - but would not do anything else!
Have a well deserved rest - recharge the batteries - all of you.
