[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 99216, member: 1991"] G'day, everybody. Linda, I know it might be a bit clichéd, but is there something kt can do with popcorn? maybe make crackerjack? You could argue, it does have a faint link to Thanksgiving, doesn't it? Or any other cooking exercise - kids often want to make the fun stuff, especially if there's a celebration. Sharon, sounds like you have a busy day ahead. I hope the psychiatrist goes well for difficult child. This afternoon I drove difficult child 1 to the boat, where he was to meet 'a client' for whom he was babysitting tonight. The plan was, they would all catch the 2pm boat together and travel together into the city. But the boat pulled in and still no sign of our friend and her children. So I drove back up the main street, to see her at the other end, struggling with the pram and her three boys. She had fallen and hurt her hand and knee, was still struggling, so I dashed back, got difficult child 1 and together we sat and worked out an alternative plan. Eventually we organised difficult child 1 to take the baby and the oldest boy, plus pram, on the 3pm boat, while I drove the mother and middle son ("to help mummy" and to stop difficult child 1 from being too overloaded) to the doctor. I had an appointment myself, so it was no trouble to drive them and that way, by the time difficult child 1 and the two boys got to the rendezvous, the mother should have seen the doctor and been treated. A bit busy, though. Also found out - last Saturday there was an article in the weekend newspaper about our artist friend whose sculptor wife died of cancer earlier this year. She had been working towards an exhibition, having put her own career on hold for 20 years to support her husband and raise their daughter. And just as she got started again - she became ill. So he has completed what she started, added in his own work and put an exhibition together. I managed to get a copy of the interview today, before the newsagent sent the old papers back. I hope to get to the exhibition A lovely man. So very sad to lose his wife this way. The exhibition, though, is a celebration of their love and separate talents. It should be amazing. Enjoy your Monday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
