[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 290087, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Andy, I hope you can find out what is wrong with your shoulder. As for driving with kids - do you have some good car games? We have some that our kids partly invented, like the alphabet game. It can get noisy but it's generally a happy noise. Sharon/WO, I hope you get an effective power nap after a good workout. That way you can wake up feeling virtuous! SFR, sorry your beach visit was not as pleasant as you expected. However, I've always enjoyed a walk along a deserted beach during a storm... there's something elemental about it that makes my heart lift despite the grey sky. Trish, you're back to school today? We just started two weeks' holiday yesterday. I'm glad DOCS finally are on board with making your custody official. I hope Little Cherub feels safe enough to talk about it. I had to chuckle over the DOCS' bloke's car getting bogged and you without a functioning tractor... but I think it worked to your advantage. Sorry about the red light - have you considered that maybe you tried to stop but found yourself over the line, and so you proceeded because it was safer? That happened to me at one point so I appealed and got off with just a warning. Today difficult child 3 & I had a quiet day. He went to visit he friend (but did a bit more schoolwork first). I got woken this morning with the radio talking about the English midwife saying that women in childbirth need to "toughen up"; I could have handled thta, but they had some midwives on talking about how important it is for mothers to feel empowered to make choices, to be encouraged to choose no assistance where possible and all the wonderful training and services available to mothers.
