School has re-opened after the summer break.And to be honest it didn’t start off well.We all ran out of patience on the first day itself since the usual van which takes the children to school didn’t turn up as the driver is still on vacation.As a result,within a short period of time,we took into service an alternative school transportation to shuttle the children back and forth to school.It wasn’t an easy task.
Though the long break from school has revitalized the kids,they are still not ready to go into studying mode right away.I guess it will take a few more days to get adjusted to the swing of things and get back to the customary routine.Moreover,it’s just a matter of days before their summative exams start and I have no idea how to get them back on track from their present frame of mind. Being away on vacation and from the hustle and the bustle of the morning mad rush,had a great impact on me as well.I had totally elapsed the usual school rules and regulations.It had completely slipped off my mind that my youngest had to be attired in Scout uniform every Tuesday.Though he reminded me just before the school van arrived, there wasn’t enough time to run upstairs and change his uniform,so I had to do a bit of sweet-talk to cheer him up before sending him off to school.
I must admit that I will definitely miss the daytime noise and the clamor,the fun and the frolic and anecdotes of my children that re-energized me during the lazy summer mornings.Hence,halfhearted and reluctantly,I unwind and bid goodbye to the holiday vibes.
We have been back for 2 weeks so fortunately, the kids are starting to get into the swing of things. I hope it gets better.
