[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 176068, member: 1991"] G'day, people. TM, I hope you get some sleep tonight. The circus sounds fun - you want to be awake to enjoy it! Sharon/LDM, it sounds like you and your cousin had a wonderful time together. I hope you didn't blow the budget with your shopping spree! Jo, it sounds like you've had a very trying week. Is there any way you can somehow hook the puppy and your mother up together so they keep each other occupied and out of your hair? We had a successful work/play day today. difficult child 3 did more work on his film (school project, he's been on it for months now) and we also had therapist's daughter over to visit. I have been coaching her/mentoring her plus she and difficult child 3 are good friends, even though he is nearly five years older. So I sent difficult child 3 to work on his film some more while I coached the girl with a speech she's got coming up (competition). Then we had a break for lunch and some game play on the Wii (which was cleverly disguised coaching and physical fitness for both of them). Then husband got home and he sat with difficult child 3 to get over the next "hump" in the project while I did more work with her for an exam she has coming up. The girl was working on some practice papers and having difficulty with codes (relative difficulty, anyway - she was still getting them mostly right). We talked about codes, the history of codes, I told her what I could remember about some historical stuff and I think it helped her get a better understanding of the sort of questions she'll get in her exam. We snacked on healthy food (plus chocolate brownies) and by the time her mother collected her, she and difficult child 3 had enjoyed a really fun day; both had also got ALL the study work done that was on their schedule (and more); they'd played games and been physically active AND had a healthy lunch. I feel smug. All I need now is for difficult child 3 to finally finish this darned film project! Preferably before next Friday, when we go on holiday. School is back on Monday (yes - today was still school holidays - I'm a MEAN mum sometimes but at least I make it as much fun as possible). Have a fun and productive Saturday. Well, fun anyway.
