[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 173916, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/Wiped, the punching bag for difficult child is a brilliant idea. We used to use a jogging trampoline for our bouncy difficult child 1, it meant he could still jump indoors in wet weather. KateM, it's gearing up to be an amazing week. The radio had about had an hour on it this morning, constant discussion on what is planned as well as a lot of the changes to traffic that our commuters should by now have taken on board. I'm glad she's packed warm clothing, it can be pleasant in the middle of the day with temperatures up to 20 C (68 F) but it quickly drops when the sun gets lower, and the wind is cold. It doesn't get below freezing even in the middle of the night (not in Sydney CBD) but it can get close to it at the moment. I just went for my evening walk (haven't done it for weeks, because of my torn muscle) and I wore my wool beanie, my scarf, wool gloves and down jacket. And uggs with possum insoles. I did not begin to feel at all hot even on my second lap. My cheeks were icy by the time I got home. And that was with no wind outside. Adrianne, your racing around and narrow squeaks with timing sounds like my days sometimes. It is really tricky trying to arrange everything to fit in. On Wednesday we had to fit in mother in law's eye surgery, some shopping, and difficult child 1's ultrasound test on his wrist (turns out to be a small ganglion, he's back to work on Monday). Sharon/LDM, I hope you and your mother can schedule some time together when you are both awake at the same time. I'm looking forward to the day when I can choose to sleep if I want to, without having to worry about keeping watch over a difficult child. We finally got the History essay finished today. Now all difficult child 3 has to do is turn it into palm cards and then deliver his speech online, to the school's website. It will record him giving his speech and we then post in his palm cards, hopefully to arrive before the teacher gets back from holidays. difficult child 1 invited a friend over today, a young man who lives on the other side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It took him two hours to drive to our place. He stayed for dinner (nothing organised, nothing formal) and it's now heading for midnight so it looks like he's staying the night. Luckily we have a spare mattress we can put down for him. husband & I are heading for bed soon, so we'll dig out a sleeping bag and a pillow first. Which reminds me - we need more pillows. Every time a kid moves out, they take their pillows. And with BF2 just having moved out, we have a bigger shortage than usual. Enjoy your Saturday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
