[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 20598, member: 1991"] Good morning, everybody. I can honestly say that, because it's early Friday morning here. Fran, it definitely sounds like spring is sneaking in. Enjoy the daffs. And the rest of you struggling with snow - it won't be long now! Terry, when difficult child 3 complained of feeling sick I would still insist on him doing schoolwork at home. "School work during school hours." The only way out is to be in a coma. Our news today was saying that el Nino is officially over, so our very long dry spell should hopefully turn around. The drought will take a lot of breaking, though. We STILL have fires burning in Victoria and Tasmania, they'll be with us until winter sets in, they tell us. No houses in danger right now though. difficult child 3 saw the Occupational Therapist today - she hasn't seen him since he was about 3 or 4, she's only relieving in the position while the regular Occupational Therapist (OT) is on maternity leave. It was good to catch up and she commented on how much progress difficult child 3 has made. He still has to use a computer though. She's writing a report for us, for school. Even though he does all his work at home, he still goes in to the school for exams and the letter will help them allow him to type his exam responses. And I MAY have a job - got a phone call while we were leaving the clinic. It's desktop publishing stuff, I'm waiting to hear from him after he interviews the other applicant. But I impressed him with my impromptu work this afternoon. The pay is great! (compared to poverty). And the kids got paid today too, for the film they were in. That was unexpected but very welcome. But it means difficult child 3 is going to have to fill out a tax return this year, to claim back the $200 they took out in tax. What a day! Marg [/QUOTE]
