I get 2 weeks off over Christmas and it's actually quite therapeutic talking to Bob. It's me. I can't help thinking that after 8 months I should be driving home by now and be almost ready for my test yet I've only just learnt how to do a turn in the road. Bob always tells me that I will get there in my own time and I'm doing really well but you know what I'm like.
It's more having no idea what is happening when. It took me forever to get him to narrow it down to before they go back to school after Christmas. And then I ended up snapping at J today. He was telling me how his dad doesn't think we should be full on as Thomas is struggling with it with her (J has said it too) and my response was "I'm not an idiot". I know I need to build a relationship and let them get used to me. I know the best way is to take things slow and steady with them, but I can't do anything about it when I feel like I'm a marginal part of his life.
I'm about 6 weeks behind for one module. Planning on using Christmas break to catch up as much as possible
Fingers crossed
