That's correct. In my original proposal, I was sure to include:

It's worth noting that in September, the-3yo-gorilla will start school which gives me 5 days per week if I'm lagging behind or feel that I'm not delivering to the level I expect of myself.

It's worth reminding people that my proposal was always requesting funding for 2 days per week. At the start of this iteration, I was nearing 4 days which meant that during the summer holidays, work slowed down considerably and now it's September, productivity will increase again.

The point at which @rme re-evaluated his votes (and this project stopped receiving funding), he contacted me to ask if I would reapply. Before his message, I wasn't going to because I felt that my current progress didn't represent value for money (due to the slow down over the Summer holidays where my priority is (and always will be) my 2 young children). But I was touched by his vote of confidence and subsequently reapplied despite the feeling that Steemit is becoming increasingly toxic and unattractive to people like me.

If you feel that progress doesn't match your expectations, I'll bare no hard feelings if you decide to vote the Return Proposal to permanently stop funding.
