Pressure is off in 2014 Journal

The tax return has been completed and submitted - no tax to pay for last year. Not surprising as I earned very little - almost half of what I earned the previous year. So glad to now be employed with a regular wage and plenty of time off during the school holidays. The salary is not great and I work six days a week, some of them VERY long days, during term time. But the kids are great, the location is to my liking, and I am free from a lot of demons.

Now that the tax return is done, I can concentrate on starting my weekend off. I have taken Friday this week as my day off, meaning I can tag it onto my Sat and Sun off. Three days away on a mini adventure! I will pack a case, the dog food and bedding and head off over to collect Ethan (GS4) after school. From there I will head south to Kent for the weekend with Annabelle (GD1) and her mum (Beckie, my D2). Birthday treats for Belle and Ethan gets to be included too :)

It has been a hard week and I am ready for a break. Argh..... break! Reminds me that this week I've had to take another two students to A&E - one with a head injury (golf ball) and one with a broken collar bone (rugby tackle that went wrong!). I've worked four days consecutively - three of them long days from 7am to after 10:30pm. Need some me and family time.

That in mind, if I don't get off here I will have less time to enjoy that family time! Have a good weekend one and all.
