Bring on the choccy eggs I say!!!

Well its been a funny old few weeks in the jonty household. We've had endless trips to GP,  hospital and psychologist. I'm convinced that the hospital are going to dedicate a parking bay just for my car! RESERVED FOR JONTYBABE WHO PRACTICALLY LIVES HERE! Has a nice ring to it don't you think? Thankfully with Easter fast approaching, all medically type people appear to be going on holidays so we have no appointments for a whole week!!! yay for Easter!!!! (Yes I know I am an atheist but I am allowed to enjoy the holiday!) And, we all know what Easter means for poor hard working social worky jonty............TERM TIME WORKING!!! Wohoooooo!

This means I am now officially off on annual leave until 17th April. I swear I practically ran out of my office at 8pm last night waving my arms about and yelling 'See ya. Wouldn't wanna be ya'! But I didn't. I walked out in the true manner of a dedicated and appropriate social worker who did not wish to mock her hard working colleagues. I waited until I got into the car before I started singing and waving my arms about! The work mobile was switched off and chucked into the boot of the car! My i.d card was thrown into my handbag and I sped off out of the car park doing a handbrake turn in my haste to leave the premises. Jontybabe has left the building! (Doing quick Elvis lip curl here).

One of the advantages of term time working is that I get to spend some much needed fun time with my kids. The disadvantage is that I have to listen for a couple of hours to FD screaming because she can't cope with the change in routine. Or looking at Afro Boy and his uncontrollable hair lounging about on the sofa whilst watching endless football matches on t.v and eating everything that doesn't move.

Speaking of his uncontrollable hair, I am convinced that it is actually a whole other life form. I swear it glares and me mockingly and sneers through the curls, 'ha ha ha you will never get rid of me. The boy loves me more than you!' I hate that hair!  I still think sneaking into his room in the middle of the night and shaving his head is a good option but I'm reliably informed that constitutes a violation of his human rights! The right to have 'a supercool 'fro that the chicks adore'. Well excuse me but there ain't too many chicks beating down his door right now! Every time he lies down on the sofa the dog tries to either eat his head or hump it! Poor animal is confused by the mass of hair.

Good old OH is also off work on Monday and Tuesday so we are getting to spend some time together - filling a skip with rubbish and garden waste! Oh the romance!!! I'm not sure I'll be able to cope! But hey! You've gotta take what you can! I'm pretty sure I can pull off sexy and alluring in a pair of wellies and gardening gloves! Not sure he can though but we'll wait and see! It'll just be nice to spend a bit of time together. And, the other thing about it is that we won't actually have the kids because.....................(drum roll please)........................The Sperm Donor has decided, after 10 years, to plan one of his twice yearly visits during a school holiday! I swear I nearly choked on my glass of wine milk when I heard! Its great for the kids but means I won't get too see as much of them as I had hoped or do as many activities with them as I had planned. But, its great they are getting to see their dad even if  he is a ********* & *****! You thought I was going to swear there didn't you! As if.

When my little darlings are off spending some time with the sperm donor and OH goes back to work what on earth will I be doing with all that free time? Housework? Nah! Ironing? Nah! I might do a bit of reading. A bit of writing. The dog might even get taken for a walk (its his birthday on Sunday so we are having a birthday party)! I have my Race For Life coming up at the end of May so I might even go to the gym and do some intensive training. Alternatively, I might just sit in the cafe at the gym and read a magazine and have a hot chocolate. Oh decisions decisions. Seriously though, I am not used to having this much free time that its giving me a headache thinking about it. I'm sure I'll cope though. I'll have Choccy eggs to help. Its a hard life eh? Happy Easter!
