[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 89049, member: 1991"] G'day, everybody. Linda, I can relate to the sleeping problems and being easily disturbed. For years now I have slept with ear plugs - the squishy ones you roll between your fingers and then stuff in your ear quickly before they expand again. And for glare, I have a number of eye masks is use. Not the crinkly airline ones which don't breath, although I have used those as a pattern, cutting out good fabric such as black velvet, or cotton. If you add a small piece at the nose the light can be blocked out completely. And with that, all husband needs to do is hold a mirror to your face and check if you're breathing. Can't you come up with an option such as hanging a tie on the doorknob or something, as a do not disturb warning? Or make up your own - "Do not wake me unless your life depends on it. Even then, think twice!" SRL, the laundry sounds busy. I've had to organise to only wash one day a week, the day I have home help. I can't wait to see my home help's reaction to my new vacuum cleaner! If you're feeling guilty and always shopping for food, just tell yourself you are being just like the meticulous housewives in Paris, and China - they HAVE to have fresh ingredients, only the best for their families! We're just in season for garlic flower stalks here at the moment, my latest "let's find out what it does" ingredient. You can feel very virtuous when you shop this way. Just keep telling yourself that. We had a quiet day today, although busy with difficult child 3's schoolwork. He's been struggling with a module of English drama, it's taken him too long to complete it. Then after school hours he went to play. The first neighbour was not home, so he went to his next friend's. And that's where first neighbour was! So they all trooped back to the first friend's house to swim in their new above-ground pool. difficult child 3 was late home, he was engrossed in playing games. It's lovely to see - these kids are all a lot younger, but they seem to understand him. No hassles. The parents have just invited difficult child 3 to their little girl's birthday party, there will be another boy his age there, an Aspie. They want the boys to meet. I suspect difficult child 3 and this boy will be inside on the computer games while all the little girls are outside playing in the pool. A lovely end to the day. And now, after a fairly hot day and a glorious sunset, a cool wind has sprung up. It's still dry, but very pleasant outside. The air is cool but the ground is still sun-warm. Enjoy your Monday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
