Back to school day (for Mark at least). Johnny has a couple of Inset days, which have caused much hilarity. When I explained to him why he was not going back on the same day as Mark, he must have mis-heard me. Insect? Inset? What's the difference when you're only 4.
J: Mama, I'm not going to school today am I?
Me: No. Remember, I told you?
J: Yes, I have a bug day.
There are great things about the holidays (not least the lack of morning scramble), but a secret part of me relishes the return to routine when everyone is back at school. Of course, feeling relieved about getting rid of the little darlings also makes me feel somewhat less than Earth-Motherly . Hence the need for extra good lunchbox treats.
Apricot and almond yogurt coated bites.
Very simple and perfect for assuaging guilt.
