I have moved my blog now:

OH MY GOD!

I can't believe this! It has been so very long since I last did a post. However, this will be my last one here as I am now on AOL, so go to http://hometown.aol.co.uk/_ht_a/mondrak662207/ and my blog will be there.

2006 is here!

Well, Christmas has gone and 2006 is well and truly upon us. We took down our decorations and dumped our Christmas tree. the damn thing was about 7 years old so we had a good run from it. We got our son a Darth Vader voice changer, some cars and "Rhythm Sticks". These are drumsticks that can be played on anything. Or anyone I suppose.

For our daughter, we got her a Karaoke machine, a cuddly unicorn and some make-up. the kids wrote letters to santa and asked for cars and a unicorn respectively, so we sent them from Santa. The kids were stoked, and the joy in their eyes was a real picture.

From my wife, I got the game F.E.A.R. and a joypad with a rumble pack on it.

I got her Nymphetamine by Cradle Of Filth and See You On The Other Side by Korn.

Well, we have changed the room around now so that the sun won't shine in our eyes in the morning and get in the way of the telly whilst we are trying to watch This Morning.

Well, I am off. The kids are about to go to bed which means that F.E.A.R. will be coming out of the box.

HOW LONG????!!!!????

Wow! It has been nearly 3 months since I did my last post. Oops. Well, it is nearly Christmas, so I thought I would put a few bits up. Our son has been statemented now and he starts his new school in January. It is a school for children with Special Needs. He is upset that he is leaving his friends behind, but we are hoping that the friends that he makes at the new one will help ease the moving process. He will be able to still see his friends though.

Anyway, have a very merry Christmas

Improvements

Our son done really well this month. When he went back to school, they did the votes for school councillor for each class, and our son was elected for his class. Fantastic! Then last week at basketball, he was man of the match. Terrific! The only problem is, how will he improve on that? Not that it matters whether he improves or not, he is excellent just the way he is, as is our daughter. But what makes it so special with our son, is the fact that he has Aspergers Syndrome, and to be given that kind of responsibility is out of this world.

He has been invited to a birthday party as well, which has not happened for over a year. You can't see it, but I am beaming with pride at the moment.

It's Been a While

It's been a while since my last post, but that is due in part to the Summer Holidays, and some stuff that we have had to work through. During the holidays, we only really went on two outings. One was to Dover Castle and the other was to Walmer Castle. On the whole, the weather was lousy. Dover Castle was great, it has so much history, and there are so many parts of it. Walmer Castle was really BOOORRRIIIIINNG! There was hardly anything there! The grounds were pretty, the Duke Of Wellington's death mask was cool, but that was it! However, there was one really funny part. There was a thunderstorm whilst we were there, and while we were in the shop the power went out. Then we heard the screams from down in the dungeon. LOL. I know it is rotten, but it was also so funny.

The other thing that happened during the holidays, was that we had applied for an assessment to Statement for our son who has Aspergers Syndrome. The Local Education Authority (LEA) turned us down at first, then after his head mistress said that she was going to fight on our side and not the LEA's, and that we got the help of the Kent Autistic Trust, they changed their minds. Since then, he has had a paediatric assessment and had an educational psychologist see him. Both have said that he needs a statement. Woohoo!

Visitors

Richard and Andrew were down for the weekend again this weekend. They come down once a year for a few days. Once again, it was an enjoyable time. Richard arrived on Friday at about 5ish, and Andrew arrived at about 8ish after a nightmare on the M25 (the worlds biggest car park). Babs had a party to do, so she didn't see Andrew until about 10-10.30ish.

Saturday saw our usual journey into Folkestone for Richard and Andrew to go to Savoir Fayre to buy a few gifts, also the must visit for them is Waterstones, Game and Play-Away. The weater wasn't too good, but the rain managed to hold off while we were in town.

After we got home, it was time for the usual Saturday Barbecue, which usually involves burnt food and lots of consumed alcohol. (Not by me, my tablets stop me drinking). We had a new BBQ this year, so we managed to hold off on the burnt stuff this year. Funny enough, not too much alcohol was consumed either. We had a good night and watched Assault On Precinct 13.

Sunday, Babs done a Roast, and she managed to surpass herself again. Richard left about 6ish, and unfortunately missed Matt who turned up at about 8 which was about the time that Richard got home, sending a text saying "I ain't dead, St. Peter told me"

Andrew then left Monday morning at about 9ish, and he got home at about 7-8ish, sending me a text saying "I ain't dead either"

Oh well, it will be another year before they come down again. A lot can happen in that time ......
