[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 354214, member: 1991"] G'day for Saturday. We've had beautiful weather the last few days. Temperatures in the mid to high 70s (F). So much for autumn... Yesterday was a difficult day though. I didn't even get to post here in yesterday's thread, things were so messy. mother in law had a very nasty incident that included a total stranger (female) running into her house to verbally abuse her. She's a bit rattled by it and I'm a bit ticked off that the police don't seem to be taking this seriously. This morning I took mother in law for a drive down the road to check out a garage sale; then she sat on the beach while I visited a client. All good for her, to get her out of the house. Tomorrow we have church in the morning, then in the afternoon we have an opera session, a special family-friendly opera plus clown presentation we bought tickets for, a few weeks ago. The last few days have been interesting. On Thursday husband, difficult child 3 & I were out and difficult child 3 got his Learner's Permit (to drive a car). We also bumped into our opera singer while shopping, difficult child 3 was in awe that the lady remembered me. He's heard her singing on the CD and in his mind, she has to be famous with a voice like that. So I'm looking forward to his reaction tomorrow. I gave difficult child 3 a driving lesson yesterday (in my car) and this afternoon husband gave him a tougher lesson in his car, which has to be the main car he learns on, since it is manual. So far difficult child 3 is doing really well; but tonight has been stressful, he's got to the really unpleasantly talkative stage where he can also get argumentative, and husband just walked away from him, leaving difficult child 3 screaming abuse to his departing back. NOT a good idea, son, when you want your next favour! Oh well, tomorrow is another day... I posted in Watercooler about a newspaper columnist of ours who has written a wonderful piece about the nasty practice of criticising "parents of today" and getting us whichever way we're going. I wanted to cheer when I read it! Enjoy your Saturday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
