Well, here I am on the eve of my return to work following a long 6 month Maternity Leave.
How do I feel?
- anxious
- excited
- nervous
- upbeat
- ready
… but in truth – a bit sad. I love my job. I’m devoted to my staff and pupils and committed to doing the very best job I can. BUT – there’s something in my hormones still that will look at my baby girl tomorrow as I leave – and weep.
I’m sure I’ll very quickly get over it; probably directly after I pick up the first memo or phone call or file. There’s a wealth to look forward to in my return. I’ve had lots of great new ideas while I’ve been off and had time to read papers and journals properly – not to mention the great sites and blogs I’ve trawled.
I’ve had a wonderful time off. I’ve spent precious time with my children, but all good things must come to an end.
I’ll remember it fondly and pack my briefcase ( or Farmfoods bag!)

I’ll give you 5 minutes and it’ll feel like you have never been away!
All those feelings are a good thing – too often in life we don’t make enough time for our feelings.
Looking forward to the next posting (once you are a real HT again!)
