h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm glad that J is doing so well (and on a lowered Ritalin dosage too). How about yourself? Do you feel less stressed out about it all?

Personally, I'm stressed out with the impending festive season and the constant demands from my family for decorations to be put up, presents and seasonal snacks! I'm seriously considering going into hibernation for the duration! Bah! Humbug!

Mair would use the computer all day and every day were she given the opportunity (drawing/updating her website/chatting to friends and doing homework - probably in that order too)!

John and I have had to ration Mair's computer time, as it can't be good for her (physically or socially) to spend so much time gazing at a monitor. Mind you, she seems to have quite a large circle of close Internet friends (most of them have their own manga-related web sites). Still, I've noticed that Mair also has quite a large circle of school friends too, so I suppose we're worrying unnecessarily.

Chris recently started to write a Southpark story on the computer and has had Internet use lessons at school, which he wanted to practice for at home.

I've had to split the two children up on occasions as they've been fighting over who uses the computer and when! They're both going to be rather miffed today, when they find their mother claiming a look in!
