New Year's evening in the Stroppy household. The Boy is in bed and looking bothered. "Mummy, I've got a bad feeling about tomorrow. I think you checked wrong and there's no school". Note that most children would think the prospect of no school gave a good feeling, though thinking about it the idea of standing in the cold outside a closed breakfast club doesn't sound so appealing so I can see his point. Quick dash to the fridge weher the letter from the school with the term dates is on display, held by a superstrong red magnet. Much cursing ensues. The Boy's father saved the day, volunteering the babysitting services of his wife who happens to be on maternity leave, 3 cheers for the pregnant one. I guess I'm on track for the clueless mother of a school age child for 2007 and judging by the undistured look on The Boy's face when being driven around the South Circular in his jammas my child pretty much takes it for granted. Happy New Year.
Start the year as you mean to go on... or not
