[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 283606, member: 7416"] Hi everyone! Hope all the graduations go well, I needed tissues for every one of them when my daughter (23) graduated from grade school, then high school. I'm hopeless. First day, First confession, first communion, confirmation, graduations, wedding, a lot of crying! Each time, it feels like a little loss.... but I think I should have thought of it as a little gain, her little gains in life, as she plods along making her way..... Might be different with this daughter! We didn't have it so cold today, but we might in the next few days as we are expecting showers. So I have to fix the tractor tomorrow and get the road scraped up a bit, so we can get out a little better. There are still some big chunks of concrete to fix up too. Took DS to work today, for which he was grateful as he wanted money for cigarettes & alco! Then did some running about before daughter sang for the old folks. Then picked up DS, went and collected the grain a neighbour had ground for me. We also picked up a new dog, a Merrema. Hoping she will be a useful member since our other dog was washed away in the flood last year along with the goats. We might be able to get some sheep after the winter, if she proves her worth. No point around here, unless we have protection, since we have dingoes that eat them up for breakfast (lunch and dinner). After the outside work, Miss 12 and I went Occupational Therapist (OT) keep company with a friend who has MS and recently broke her leg. Then I came home and put her to bed, and did ALL the ironing whilst watching "After Thomas" it was brilliant. I have seen it before, and read the book, which is better. It is about couple who struggle to have their son diagnosed with autism, and never give up on him.... eventually, a golden retriever opens the door to his world and he does become a useful member of society, unlocking his feelings. .... Highly recommended... but also, read the book! Mothers, we don't give up on our children, but we do sometimes give up on ourselves... however, that's when we need to recharge our batteries and come up for a little air. No one said parenting is easy, and we are constantly learning... how many times have I heard myself say that this week/month/year? Even having raised two past 18, I'm still learning new curves to parenting, and glad of it. have a good Friday. no further news on cherub, but "Dad" is having control over the weekend, so I'm praying hard.
