That time of year again.

Yes it's time for looking to the future and thinking about the past and making resolutions and plans.  You know.  All the stuff I'm really bad at.

Mind you.  I did manage to get a complete 1st Draft of one of my Novels sent out into the real world.  I entered a competition with the first of the 'Department' Novels so go me.

Tomorrow morning the kids are back at school and it will be possible for me to tidy in relative peace.  It will also be possible to write without having to bribe the kids in some way.  So now I have no excuse for not writing, for not setting up a more permanent Aberdeen NaNoWriMo group and for not getting the house in order.  So I really ought to do all that stuff.

So far so good.  But what about everything else.  The School still has no plan for educating my son for the whole of the school day.  I'm still at the mercy of the Social Workers.  I'm still in the same flat with most of the same neighbours.  I still have no realistic plan for getting out.

Every time I try to plan I feel like the underpants gnomes from South Park.  All my plans have a huge gap in them somewhere.
