I know, I know. As any pedant will point out, the school year runs from August to June - well at least for those pedants talking about schools north of the border it does.But I have a new diary to update, and, assuming that I will be back working sometime, I've been putting in all the school holiday dates.
School holidays...
All 72 of them. Ignoring weekends.
72 days holiday a year.
This is the first year I've been looking to cover all those holidays by myself. The Cherub's dad would always have had him at least half the time.
Right up to the last holiday - the October break, W was still having holidays with the Cherub. Camping at Easter, France in June, Dublin in August..and, well, for the October break we all stayed put at home, so to speak..
Devil's in the little stuff. The ongoing, everyday, little stuff.
How good is a holiday without your dad?

How good's a holiday?
You'll do fine. And the cherub's old enough to be able to help you do fine (and not so old as to spend all his time grunting and picking his spots!)

Holidays are always good.
At home, away---as long as it's not work/school
And Mums can be great fun
So, you wont take him to a strip club---he will get over it
