End of the Weak (typo intentional)

Have come to the end of a very exhausting week, and I'm really looking forward to the weekend.

We've had endless days of heat and equally hot nights. Little sleep. I tried sleeping out on the lawn but the dogs ran around all night barking at owls flying past, so had to give up after a few hours. Hoping for a dip in temps this weekend and a chance to get some rest.

Then there's been work - I have rushed and rushed this week. I have probably worked harder this week than I have in months. I may be putting in some weekend work too. But I DO plan on asking for a few days unofficial leave once student registration is over and things calm down. In the meantime I have to take serenity where I find it and suck the marrow out of it while I can!:)

School started this week for my son, and it's back to the routine of homework, bathtimes and bedtimes. Gone are the days when he can stay out late playing with friends as the sun disappears. Now he's got a deadline to get home. And I have a deadline to complete all my evening stuff and have time to help him with homework. Last night it was Afrikaans, and a lot of it. Fortunately that falls away when we move to Australia...

Today is also the day applications for my potential Australian job close. I should hear if I'm being considered in the next week or so.

All in all I'm looking forward to a mini-break this weekend. I'm planning nothing, I'm not going to try cram activities in, I'm just going to take it completely easy.

I'll be back with better blogging next week, as time allows. Blessings and rest to all who stop by here!
