[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 26486, member: 1991"] Crikey, what a day! G'day, everyone. difficult child 3 had his day at school today and I'd been looking forward to a chance to snooze in the library while I waited. Instead, us parents got shepherded into a room with someone who looked slightly familiar (I thought she was a teacher) who turned out to be a Dept of Health worker there ti give us a lecture on dealing with the stages of adolescence. The same lecture that we copped six months ago which went on interminably and was telling us basics which so many of us have had to deal with, since there are a high proportion of difficult children at this school. I got the same talk. Only this time there were only a handful of us so walking out halfway was not an option. Last time it was only supposed to go for about 20 minutes (I suspect the same today) but we slipped out last time after 90. Today it fizzled when her computer (PowerPoint presentation) went into screen-save and she didn't know the password. Tragic. As it was we still almost missed lunch. We'd already missed morning tea. easy child 2/difficult child 2 spent today waiting for the smash repair people to ring - they didn't. We finally found out about her boyfriend's car (Monday night - she spun it out on a damp road, blew out two tyres going into a ditch). The repair people say it's been written off - suspension's gone. Oh, dear. Expensive, especially since it wasn't her car. No insurance. boyfriend doesn't know yet (I'm about to drive down to the wharf and meet him off the ferry). He's been nursing a sore leg, I gather he slammed it on the dashboard in the accident. At least easy child 2/difficult child 2 did nothing wrong, she's not got any points on her licence (accumulate points, you lose your licence). We're in for an interesting night. Gotta dash. A boat to meet. Then easy child 2/difficult child 2's roses to water (and my herbs) because tonight we're allowed to use the hose for a few hours. have a good Wednesday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
