G'day people.
I redeemed myself as a mother today - gave difficult child 3 the day off school, which, since school finished on Wednesday was not especially generous. He still hasn't realised...
We went shopping with mother in law to the mall. We took my mobility scooter for mother in law to use. She got a lot more Christmas shopping done but I am exhausted. So is husband. We got home mid-afternoon and I've been resting ever since.
difficult child 3 spent all his money, mostly on himself. He is disgusted with himself and I suggested he take some things back in order to get money back to contribute to Christmas presents. We don't expect a lot from him, but he does need to spend more on other people than on himself. Plus he owes us for his medications. He gets an allowance from the government and from tat, we require him to pay his medication bills.
Tomorrow we have a quieter day to begin with. I have a rehearsal for the local carols program (yes, the one I had planned to boycott - it's a bit political) then we're possibly going to a Christmas party at daughter in law's mother's place. She's very difficult child (I think, Aspie) and these evenings can be a bit tedious. After today, I will have to go carefully with my energy levels.
We met up with daughter in law and difficult child 1 at the mall today, it was good to see them and also to see daughter in law seeming so chipper. She's been very unwell lately.
Enjoy your Friday.
