[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 24023, member: 1991"] G'day everybody. Joanne, sounds like they're rolling up the shirt sleeves. I can't understand them wanting to cut speech therapy, though. Janna, I hope they don't order family therapy yet again. I was talking to a woman this afternoon who reminds me of you - she's fighting the system over her daughter and they keep judging her inappropriately by appearances and family history. But she's a fighter who is not letting them kick her when they think she's down. Sharon, there's nothing wrong with making time for yourself. I hope the kids are a bit more controllable today for you. Jen, isn't it amazing how kids never seem to feel the cold except when it's convenient? We had a day in at the school today - state-wide literacy testing for kids in Years 7 & 8. We're beginning to get end of summer/early autumn weather. Hot, humid and cooler breezes at inconvenient times. Recent rain has brought in the mozzies(mosquitoes), their absence having been one good thing about the drought. The sea temperature has cooled dramatically, so the next swim may not be as pleasant. Two people got hit by lightning in Sydney yesterday evening but they're OK now. The humidity is bringing in these huge storms, but we're enjoying the bit of rain they bring too. At the school today I got talking to one of the other mothers (her son is autistic too) and she had some hair-raising stories about her son's school and the bullying they didn't stop. He ended up in hospital twice but the school still did nothing, not even when the police got involved. Sounds like fodder for my next article... I'm going to head for bed soon. It's been a long day. Tomorrow I'm taking easy child 2/difficult child 2 to the doctor, to see if he thinks she has grumbling appendicitis. I think it's odds on. It's going to be an interesting day. Marg [/QUOTE]
