[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 193192, member: 1991"] Linda, about kt and the Internet, don't let her feel that the restrictions and supervision are specifically for her - the recommendation these days is for ALL teens to be supervised when online. Good luck with wm's meeting tomorrow, I hope he's not there, if it's going to unsettle him. Sharon/LDM, those birds can be a distraction! difficult child 3 is now wondering if our older female bird might have been trying to nest in the pot plants. I hope not - our young male is too young. I hope your tummy bug or whatever it was settles down for you. Sharon/WO, I'm glad you got to your book club. Sorry to hear about husband's torn rotator cuff - that can be tricky. I hope the potluck picnic is OK, even if it has to be indoors. I had planned on cooking a roast chicken for dinner tonight, but with only three of us it didn't seem much sense. SO I talked to difficult child 1 & girlfriend over the phone, I've asked them to both be here for dinner tomorrow night and I'll roast the chook then. So when I'm out with mother in law tomorrow, I'll see if I can pick up some more fennel, or maybe whitloof, to roast with the carrots & potatoes. For tonight, we're rummaging in the freezer. I was about to make scrambled eggs for husband when I found a large serve of my home-made lasagne from a couple of months ago. So husband had that. difficult child 3 had two pieces of his favourite frozen fish, and I had my diet version of the same thing. The gastroenterologist was happy with me. I can go off the diet pills but I MUST work to maintain my weight. My liver is going to depend on me maintaining my weight (or even losing more, although that will now be unlikely). It could take at least another six months or more. I've got a busy few days - yesterday was very tiring and a long day in the city for me. Today - longer than I expected. Tomorrow hopefully shorter, but Saturday and Sunday I'll be shopping for wedding dresses with easy child, girlfriend and easy child 2/difficult child 2. I normally try to avoid being busy on consecutive days, so I suspect I'll be very tired by Sunday night. I'm hoping to head for bed soon. I still have a few more wedding invitations to write out, although I think this is the last, for the first round. There are a few more people I felt should have been asked, but the kids spoke to mother in law about it and she said to not invite them. And today - she said in the car, "I do hope you're going to invite [those family members now off the list] - we're closer to them than [others who are more closely related]." I didn't even try to remind her that the kids had made their final decision to NOT invite them, on HER advice! I did say that it was the couple's decision and she said, "Oh, you can always insist." Nope. Because if I insist with every relative or friend I want, then the bride's family can do the same, and we'll end up with a guest list of 400 instead of 100. It's already blown out to about 140 or more. And after this one, we'll still have two more to go! Marg [/QUOTE]
