*Finally* made it to the local home ed meet – been intending to go since I started maternity leave last May! Lovely afternoon – lots of familiar faces like Kirsty and Barbara. Dd got stuck in – didn’t see her much except in passing for the whole afternoon! Meant that I got to sit and chat in the sunshine, which was rather good. Ds was rather subdued – tired perhaps?
Dd had made a card for a friends birthday, completely independently, and it went down very well. And if 100EL has nothing else to contribute, at least we get ‘s’ the right way round now!
Went on to finally drop off my pass off at my exwork – very odd being there. Sort of expected to feel a few pangs for the old place, and actually felt none. Stood in the middle of a corporate office with a child in a sling, and another one under the desk, and didn’t hanker after my old life at all. My ex boss wanted to know when I’m going to put my cv in for contract work – and I might have to do that at some point, depending on finances – but I didn’t feel any urgency to get around to it.
Celebrated my new found sense of liberation by going to Waterstones and being told they’ve sold out of End of the Story books (I thought it was supposed to be free?) and then going on to a large shopping mall and eating in McDs. Ah well, at least they do quorn sandwiches now – which was a bit over chillied but otherwise quite pleasant.
Late home, so we didn’t get to do our FIAR tonight, and we’re off to another home ed meet in the morning. It’s all go!
