The holiday's are over … and I guess they had to end,
Cause the "I'm bored" and "What's to eat?" … have sent me round the bend.
But I will miss the sleep ins … and the lazy non routine,
The idle way I spent the days … reclining like a Queen.
I'll miss the "who cares" attitude I felt towards the washing,
And the guilty thought of dirty floors … I've successfully been squashing.
But now that it's all over … there's really just one winner,
Cause now we're back to normal … I might make Hubby's dinner.
But I must face the cold, hard truth … and no longer be a dreamer,
There are two boys in high school … and yep … one's now a senior.
This reality is hard to swallow … it's detrimental to my health,
How can he be a senior … when I was only just at school myself?
But I'll toughen up and face the facts … if I may be so bold,
There's only one thing this can mean … I'm really getting old.
By Me
Awwwww...he'll always be your little baby.
ReplyDeleteHe sure will … whether he likes it or not … though I suspect on laundry day he'll quite like it ;0)

But look how freaking tall he is!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe really is … that picture doesn't do it justice … I think there was fertiliser in the water throughout these holidays.

When they head off to school you should just find a very comfy place to recline in and pretend your holiday is still happening!!!! Works for me. Oh and you are not old, none of us are old, that is a dirty word, we are mature!!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm still finding it very hard to shake off the holiday laziness … I had good intentions to clean bathrooms and mop floors … instead I played Angry Birds on the iPad … oops!!!! What were you saying about mature??

Love this little ditty! Oh, I am so not looking forward to the end of the school holidays next week... x
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the last few days :0)

Love this. Mine look so grown up in their uniforms today, it's a bit sad this growing up business. I'm going to miss the lazy routine too xx
ReplyDeleteYes … I do find it a bit sad sometimes … and then other times it makes me ecstatically happy ;0)

The back to school blues can quickly turn into the freedom to do what you want when they are back in school! and why are they growing so quickly! my youngest starts High School this year, what happened? we're not getting old, we are edging towards our own Independence! at the moment I am having thoughts of grown up independent children having lives and holidays just for me and the Mr, oh my Gah! x x x
ReplyDeleteI KNOW … that light at the end of the tunnel that always seemed sooooo far away is just around the corner now. Hubby and I are already planning the overseas trips we are going to take .. .and the kids don't like it one little bit ;0)

Hehe...I have the post holiday blues and the impending school routine coming all tolled into one. We hit the uniform shop today.....I agree ..it was nly yesterday my mum was masking me a school skirt.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the quietness of the house.

Oh I despise the uniform shop … every one in it always has a frantic look in their eyes :0)

I do so love A Jo Poem. You are so clever and funny and... a senior?! Surely he's not old enough? Surely you're not either!!!! x
