[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 217804, member: 3704"] Happy Tuesday Everyone! Brrr... it's a cold one here today. This winter has gotten off to much too early a start for my liking. Marg, I know what you mean about taking on a big volunteer job. It's hard to avoid in a small community like ours. Add on the distance and times for your work, as well as your current physical state and it's a bit too much. I hope that your pain diminishes some, and that the hot pack is effective. Your Christmas flowers sound glorious, what a peaceful spot of beauty in the midst of the busy holiday season. Sharon, I love what your therapist had to say about difficult child and his future relationships. She is spot on! easy child is very ADHD with a strong emphasis on the "H". He didn't show any interest in driving until he was 19 (thank goodness). His girlfriends always turn into little mothers instructing him on manners and clothing choice. LOL... he never heard any of that from us :) I know you will be glad when that time comes for him, and I think it will be very reassuring for you. Linda I hope that you have a good Tuesday. I understand how kt feels. I really did not want to get up today either. It's just too cold. I do hope that her appointment goes well today and that you can get some rest. We are back from our wonderful Thanksgiving holiday - sad to say. We got husband's siblings, their children, and grandchildren together in a couple of mountain cabins. They had not been together since their Mom died three years ago. It was a wonderful time for all. Family came together from California, Chicago, Kentucky, and Charleston, SC. Our nephew came from Oslo, Norway with his Norwegian girlfriend who is just delightful.
