the best laid plans…

Thankyou to all who asked for the password.  As much as we were taken with the idea, wordpress were not and have since removed their password option! So, I am looking for an alternative route to Internet safety.  I thought of giving us all pseudonyms, I would be the Surrey housewife, my daughter, the diva, my son, the sun which shines out of, my husband…well obviously… the brewer.  But not sure I would like that!

Home School goes on and is much enjoyed by me of all people.  I could rave about it for hours, but as I still can’t persuade myself to voluntarily do it, I can hardly expect anyone else to be so influenced.  I have though, discovered some new parental woes, mostly from the other end of the spectrum to what I am used.  Going around Museums for instance, is a painful, foot hopping experience as I wait for them to move on.  They are genuinely interested (and that verges on disturbed in my book).  On a slow Monday morning I decided it was good plan to walk along the River and learn the nation’s favourite poem ‘If’, only for me to be quoted as I asked for them to hurry up out of the car ” Mum, if you can wait, and not be tired by waiting” in a rather triumphant, little diva voice.  Yes, I would like to burn every copy of that noble poem.  Don’t feed it to your children, the consequences are not to your benefit.  My powers have diminished, today I tried to bribe with tv time, only for the disdainful response “no, I’d rather read”.  What have I done?!

Happy New Year everyone!
