The holidays over

As I sit here now typing this...its quiet...too quiet...I can hear the sound of my washing machine and the tv but theres a sound...a joyous happy sound missing...yes sadness...Lukes back at school today...holidays are over now...we went and got him all his winter uniforms yesterday...stimulated the economy hugely and the uniform lady pleasantly sent us away while saying "See you next time"...yeah I bet...Luke looked gorgeous in his new uniform with his grey pants and spunky jumper...he really looked like such a big school boy today...he wasnt overly keen to go but we got there...he wanted to stay home with me...poor lil man...explaining to him I have to go to work anyway took a while...but eventually he was happy to go...dropping off his bag he wouldnt give me a kiss so we had to wait till the kids went to the play area so he could give me a hug...so thats begun...its just lucky that hes so affectionate at home...I dont know what Id do if I didnt get my hugs and kisses anymore...I know that day will come and I dread it...I really do...so it looks like its back to not seeing my lil guy during the week much again...sad about that...but these are the things we have to do and thats life I guess...just counting down the weeks till the next holidays roll around...having said all that I am so proud of him...and I really hope he has a great day back at school.
