[QUOTE="Fran, post: 296969, member: 3"] Good morning ladies. It's finally the middle of the week. Always a good sign. Timer, hope that music is patient enough to not jump onto your piano and force your fingers to play it. :angel2: Having your neice over to help out sounds like a good system. Enjoy your 3 days of summer. (sorry I couldn't resist the joke. Spoke to babysis and she was lamenting the heat and mosquito invasion). gvc, what a fun thing to do with difficult child. We used to do things like go watch for meteors and comets when the boys were younger. It was always exciting for all of us. Hope you can get some sleep. Marguerite, hope your nights start to warm up. I'm sure you are ready for the warmer temps. Too bad about difficult child/easy child 2 and her work situation. It does seem when work turns difficult because of personalities that it just goes down hill. An abuse victim is a good description. It's a tough life lesson that some people never learn. We are really getting geared up for a busy few weeks. Middle sis is driving up from Texas with a friend to spend some time here before going on to mom's. easy child arrives Sunday for a week before we take him off to school. Yay!!!!!:bigsmile: Then we all head up to mom's house for a :labor_day: Labor Day birthday party for neice who turns 2 but mostly to check on mom. She is pretty excited to see 3 of her grandson's, 3 daughters, a son in law and just get to cook and fuss. Her house comes alive with all the comings and goings plus all the friends who stop in. It's what she misses the most. We won't let her do too much but it does seem to make her feel better. Now for some potential good news. difficult child has been doing better and better in terms of acting more age appropriate. His humor has matured, his thinking has matured and his emotional maturity has gone up a notch. He has met a few more peers. One of them has been great. She is very good about taking initiative and doing things and going place. She is a she but that's even better. A different point of view for difficult child. They have been to several places and get togethers so far. I'm tickled. It's so difficult to do things with folks who are hesitant to try or if their folks keep them home and insulated like 10yr olds(I understand that need but difficult to plan things). He also has a lead for a roommate. The rent is doable for difficult child and it's a good situation for both of the young men. Hopefully, he will get the volunteer position at the museum and a part time job. I would love to see him have a more broad, involved life. Baby steps. I'm excited for him but know that all of it can fall apart. A little positive growth is a good thing. :woohoo: [/QUOTE]
