Still too much

I'm still feeling very anxious but I'm trying to be positive and I appreciate the support of some of my best members of staff who have stepped up to encourage me. I have spoken to the head teacher and explained that the situation is not sustainable and that the department needs a Principal Teacher. I would be happy to be either the Principal Teacher or Depute Head (I will always be Depute Head one day a week anyway due to my contract when I job-shared with Jackie) but I cannot continue to do both jobs. He took it on board but said that any changes would need to wait until August. 

In happy news, James and I booked a cruise for the October break today! There is nothing like the prospect of a great holiday to take my mind off my worries - I have been described by a friend as a "holiday whore" which I think is very funny! Although I think that I prefer the term "holiday tart!" So every time that I start worrying, I divert my mind to my cruise itinerary.
I have hired a cleaner for the house which is a practical and positive move and should take some of the pressure off me. 
And best of all! David logged into the UCAS website a few days ago and he has got a conditional offer to study BioChemistry at Aberdeen! He will need to get two Bs in his Advanced Highers (Biology and Chemistry) which will not be easy but well done to David; this is his first conditional offer. I'm very proud of the boy.
