G'day, everyone.
Sharon, stay safe in the snow. I hope the therapist makes the effort.
Linda - I hope kt's reaction settles down. I hope she hasn't got fever as well.
Kjs, I hope the medication problem gets sorted out early. We had a problem like that about a week ago - difficult child 1's Zoloft was unavailable because the drug company had not supplied the warehouses, the prescription couldn't be filled. Very careless of the drug company, I reckon.
WFEN, I'm jealous of easy child. I always wanted to enter a spelling competition, other than just my class one. But we didn't have hem back then, in Australia.
Joanne, Good luck with your meeting with the congressman. Take plenty of notes so you can analyse what he said or didn't say later on. They're very good at reassuring you, but without committing themselves to actually doing anything for you.
I had my house cleaning and cooking binge this morning (with assistance) and then mother in law & I had to see our doctor. He's leaving the practice, after only being there a few years. We're having to go to increasing amounts of trouble to keep seeing him, but neither of us wants the trouble of breaking in a new doctor (who might not be as good, either).
easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2 went to the Royal Easter Show today. They bought showbags for us all, and we've been busy this evening going through it all to see how much rubbish was in there. BF2 got a "tattoo arm" in one of his bags - I want one! It's like a sheer sleeve with realistic tattoos printed on th e fabric. When you put it on, the top of the sleeve is hidden under the top of BF2's sleeve, and the bottom of this 'sleeve' is hidden under his watchband. It really looks like he's had his arm tattooed! I could wear it with my fake nose ring and horrify a few straight-laced people I know; I could start an entire new gossip series!
Right before the appointment at the doctor, I managed to organise a much-needed haircut for difficult child 3. Every time we do this I am amused by the reactions of the hairdressing staff, if they've not cut his hair before. He either explains about computer games (or computers) in detail, or he talks about something academic. Today he was explaining Zoombinis to her, giving her the whole spiel on the educational value of the games, with their problem-solving training, algebra basics and early logic.
But he does look much better now. We wanted him looking good for his passport photo. I'll still look ghastly for mine, no time to do my hair today!
Have a good Wednesday, everyone.
Marg
