[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 165331, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. I'm still struggling a little with the new computer and the way it opens pages on this site, so I have difficulty greeting you all individually. Linda, I hope you have a wonderful visit with your father. A lot to celebrate, by the sound of it. I hope he has something planned to occupy him in retirement. Adrianne, I hope easy child lets you get some sleep soon. Isn't it odd? They can't wait to grow up and leave home, but you wonder how on earth they will cope when there's only them to deal with the things that go bump in the night? Sharon/Wiiped, sounds like you've got the perfect weather to be worrying about escaped convicts - like a plot from a really bad teen horror film. Well, I had a fairly ghastly day today. It figures - Friday 13th, AND my birthday. I got an early phone call from difficult child 3's therapist (also my good friend) to wish me happy birthday, which was interrupted by second call from difficult child 1's caseworker from his employment disability support agency who is trying to help sort out our utter mess of red tape (I posted separately). Thanks to that phone call my day was headed downhill fast, as I put things in motion to get action taken. It took me all day to finally get information gathered to get things happening politically, and the person I spoke to who has promised to kick some rear ends won't be able to start until Monday. difficult child 1 still doesn't know about any of tis. easy child rang me tonight for my birthday and I'm afraid I dumped it all on her. She's also concerned for how her brother will take it all. Meanwhile husband got difficult child 1's bank records off the Internet (he has access to difficult child 3's passwords etc) so at least I have something I can pass on to the authorities who are nagging for details. Very frustrating. Tomorrow I can ignore all this for a few days (why fret while nothing can be done?). I am doing some paid market research in the morning, which gets me "on the mainland" to do a bit of grocery shopping. Then tomorrow night husband & I get to go out for his train club's annual dinner. I get to show the other blokes that I don't always look like a train-driver's moll. It's a worry - I'm one of the youngest train widows in the club. I've not really had much chance to dress up since I began the diet. mother in law has gone away for the weekend to Newcastle. Her niece (husband's cousin, same age) drove down to collect her and will be bringing her home on Sunday. They have nothing special planned so I suggested they drop in on easy child so mother in law can see her granddaughter's new home. easy child doesn't remember cousin so it will be good to re-introduce them. I know they will get on well. So I'm hoping tomorrow is a vast improvement on today. Enjoy your Friday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
