G'day, all. Just grabbing a few minutes while dinner finishes cooking.
School's back. Which means easy child 2/difficult child 2 is back at college classes tonight and tomorrow night.
difficult child 3 is still working on his holiday report but taking a long time. A big job, but he may have to work on the weekend so he doesn't fall behind. We've also got a lot of distractions this week - saw the pediatrician today, cousins from Scotland visiting tomorrow - it all takes time out from the school day.
The pediatrician is worried about difficult child 1 - there is a definite increase in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behaviours plus he's concerned about depression increasing. His Zoloft has been increased. Also, we now have Concerta available on PBS, so he suggested switching the kids over at some stage because it will be a lot cheaper and a lot more convenient. I think we'll wait until the summer holidays for the big switch experiment, see how we go.
It was the coldest morning in Sydney today, for 20 years. And there is a cold change coming through tomorrow, where it will REALLY get cold. They forecast snow flurries for Canberra tomorrow - maybe they meant the Canberra hills, surely not the city - that's like forecasting snow in the CBD for Sydney, or Melbourne... but after being snowed in on holidays and stranded at the airport for days, I think if easy child & BF1 even SEE snow on the hills, they'll be screaming!
Charlotte's Pass was -15C last night. Nasty... and colder tomorrow...
Have you guys finished with summer yet? Can we have a turn soon, huh? Please?
