[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 384040, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. I'm late tonight because we've been to mother in law's for dinner (roast chicken) and then came home to pack. We're only away for four days (three nights) but it also includes a wedding, so we're packing our finery. Plus resort gear, this place is a famous tourist spot in Australia. We're also struggling a bit with difficult child 3 and his increasing obsession with certain computer games which have a lot of swearing - these are US-based, and what is often considered acceptable in the US is not, here. So I insisted the volume be turned down, since this house is my space too and if I find it offensive, then it has to be shut down. I think I have to bring this up with difficult child 3's therapist. Today I took easy child 2/difficult child 2 to her therapist. We made her next appointment for next Friday, although difficult child 3 also has his therapist appointment on the same day. Then just after I got her home, the hospital rang - she is having her day surgery next Friday. So that looks like two therapist appointments I have to cancel. We leave tomorrow at 9 am. husband is dropping me at the station, I'm going to my optometrist appointment by train, then travelling back. Meanwhile husband is going to collect easy child 2/difficult child 2 and their luggage and then I'll head back to meet up with them while we all wait for SIL2 to finish his college class at midday. That is when we hit the road. Tonight's roast chicken is tomorrow's lunch along with fresh vegetables bought by easy child 2/difficult child 2. We'll hopefully get out of Sydney as fast as possible, well before afternoon peak hour begins at 3 pm. That will need us to really get going fast, Sydney is spread out. We'll head across the city via the Coathanger (Sydney Harbour Bridge) because it is actually the shortest and fastest way. Once we reach the outskirts of Sydney to the north, it will be at least another four hours driving from there. But if we can be fast enough, we'll be ahead of the traffic, surfing the crest of the wave and having an easy run. We'll be thinking of you as we kick back at the report sipping pina coladas by the pool, and eating fresh seafood and tropical fruit. Enjoy your Thursday. Marg [/QUOTE]
