This morning I dropped Oliver off at a holiday playscheme. For the whole day. I have never done such a thing before. Obviously I don't need him to be looked after by total strangers all day, since I don't work by day, but my thinking was this: he gets to spend time with other children doing organised activities/enjoying himself. He takes another little step away from me and my influence. IF he has a good time, then my day by myself is an added bonus. When I dropped him off, the staff were all young girlies who gave me no confidence they would be on top of things - whether the kids are playing nice/getting along or if any child is emotionally struggling. I have come away feeling so tense I could snap in half, and feeling like I could just sit and cry. I am so worried that Oliver will be unhappy. I guess this is the feeling that I would get if I had to leave him at the school gates. It doesn't feel good I can tell you.
Four partly finished (for various reasons) layouts from my Saturday crop:
They all needed bits and pieces that I either A) don't have yet (my lovely new Stampin' Up stamps on their way...) or B) had at home and not in my bulging bag of stash which I took with me.
Report back later on the success (?) of the playscheme......

Hopefully he'll have had a great time - which will leave you feeling more settled next time and able to have some real time for yourself.
The SU order is on it's way to my house so you'll soon be getting it. Hoping to catch up with you in August.
Hope he had a great time, and you will be able to enjou your "you" time if he goes again.
Looking forward to seeing the LOs in their finished glory!
AH I'm sure it'll be fine! Try to enjoy your day off. They're
precious, aren't they?
Re scarf, don't worry m'dear, I have a weekend away shortly, and this will be started on the train down. Hope to have it with you by end of August :)
You'll have to send me your address though.
