[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 28854, member: 1991"] OK, I'm getting in early. I'm only taking a guess that it's already Thursday wherever CD has got to now. Previously I've set my CD clock on Texas time, but with the move, and I think you're all on Daylight Saving time now? by the way, so are we - still. Not sure when daylight saving finishes for us. I've tried to take things quietly today although I would have liked more rest. difficult child 3 has got ONE subject done, but I've managed to tidy up the backlog of returned completed work, it's all filed away. I'd like him to do another worksheet but it's going to take a lot of my help and right now, I'm a bit preoccupied. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is taking her time getting over the anaesthetic. She still had the IV in, last time I checked, because she's had problems with nausea and vomiting. Looks like she's staying in for another night. It's a long drive for us and after yesterday's marathon stint I was only going in if I was bringing her home, but the difficult child in her has kicked in and she's crying for her mummy (and daddy, and BF2). Not quite literally, but it sounds close. She was cuddling her teddy when we left, but sometimes even a teddy is not enough. So in about half an hour I'm grabbing my keys and driving in to the city. Hopefully the traffic won't be too bad, since peak hour is heading out, not in. difficult child 3 is staying home with mother in law. I'm driving in via BF2's work so I can bring him too. I just rang him. I suspect for once he'll knock off work on time! We'll get in there just in time to watch the bats taking off again - by the way, these are not hairy and ugly, they're really quite beautiful. They have soft fur, a sweet face like a fox cub and they're very clean. Large colonies do smell, though, from the midden heap under the trees.
