[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 168888, member: 1991"] G'day, people. I'm glad you're all enjoying your summer. It's a really special time, when school is getting out for summer and celebrations are beginning. I can't wrap my head around all this happening, without Christmas being involved! For us, school gets out only a few days before Christmas so there is a lot of rushing around with kids doing last minute shopping, all getting happy and excited. TM, enjoy the party and the last day of school. Sharon/Wiped, I hope the a/c guy gets the job done quickly for you, so you can get on with your schedule. There's nothing worse than a hot summer and te air con is out! Fran, stay cool in the heat. We tend to batten down the hatches in summer, between 10 am and 2 pm (sun time). Lots of cold water in the fridge, lots of ice cubes and plenty of shade... I hope your furbaby isn't in too much pain. Adrianne, that's one heck of a schedule your difficult child has. And about the trumpet practice - is there any reason he can't practice on the beach? Surely the sound of the waves will help drown out the extra volume? It might be interesting, too. Or is your beach crowded? You'd love ours - even in high summer, there is plenty of space. And if the beach is full you could always walk out to the headland overlooking the cliffs and play the trumpet there. No houses for miles, just scrub, sand, rocks and seabirds. And the sound of the surf crashing on the rocks below... no wonder difficult child 3 likes to go for a walk there every afternoon. We have another ten days of school before the two week mid-year break. I talked to difficult child 3's pediatrician today about increasing his medications - it's been several years and a lot of growth (including puberty) since the medications were last increased. I'm hoping it makes a big improvement in his ability to focus. We will see how he goes tomorrow. This afternoon while loading up some shopping just before drama class, his old teacher from the highway school (one term, grade 6) came over to talk to him. It was lovely. A very kind man, he helped difficult child 3 a lot. He also helped me a lot and supported me against the Dept of Ed when they tried to accuse me of trespass. He has retired now, he fills his days helping other people. Enjoy your Wednesday. Marg [/QUOTE]
