Just been playing Alan Wake on 360, had a song in my head. Couldn't remember what it was called...

Am I the only one that thinks 'school' and shudders
Posted Jan 29, 2010
I started home schooling our son in October, that is going rather well. He asks when he can work on his maths, English, reading etc, we're taking him places he would only have a rare go at (the Science Museum, The Aerospace Museum, Manchester Museum - some slightly more local places too) and just enjoying having him at home.
I know most people think I'm as mad as a box of frogs, but hey, that's their problem, isn't it?
I could no longer work at the school that couldn't (wouldn't?) deal with the bullying issues or 'personality clashes' as they called them that my son has had to go through. I was sick to the stomach of the tears (at night and in the morning). The little 
lives on my street.
The day K left the school system I had been asked by a friend to take her child school. 'Fine' says I.
I see the Head Teacher that morning, 'Oh good, I'm glad he's back, he's better off at school'
Oh no, he's not. You've promised so much, but what have you delivered? Nada, zilch, nothing. His last day at school - head had kicked him several times (and bruised his back) while another child was sat on him. A Midday Assistant had not only noticed this, but reported it to the class teacher. Was my husband informed at the end of the day?
Nope.
We're having so much fun now.

Summer??? Pah!!!
Posted Aug 20, 2009
Well after such an auspicious start to the summer break, what else did I expect?
First, Keir has swine flu, reacts to the Tamiflu (and the doctors don't have anything to say)
and mum and dad have mile-wide stares for three weeks.
We then discover that two much loved pets have died. Lovely gerbil and Fluffy Bunny the budgie. Two empty cages are so sad.
Now we discover we have head visitors* 
when can I start to relax?
On the plus side, we have a lovely 
a real one! She's beautiful.

I am also now the proud owner of Guitar Hero (three and World Tour), two guitars and a drum kit. Now, if only I
could beat Lou I can play Dragonforce's Through the Fire and Flames**
*I'm currently covered in a well known brand of chemical treatment - and it's dripping rather badly
**I'm getting callouses on my fingers playing 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia', man that guy is ~hard~ to beat.
