[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 185998, member: 1991"] G'day, friends. Linda, I hope you get the paperwork dealt with in time to have a sound nap. Pasta salad sounds like a good idea to deal with the heat. Sharon/WO, sounds like you had a wonderful evening with your friend. We need to give ourselves times like this. Fran, sounds like you have a wonderful week lined up for your nephews. I hope OC is safe in Florida. We had a fun day today. Although it was technically a school day, because husband had the day off we decided to go see "Mama Mia" with mother in law. difficult child 3 didn't want to go, he wanted to stay home. He really isn't good with seeing a movie he hasn't seen before. But I told him "Mama Mia" is fun, like a big beach party with toe-tapping music. We had to compromise - he sat on the aisle so he could 'escape' if he felt he needed to, and we brought his schoolwork so he could get some work done afterwards. He stayed through the movie. An achievement! Afterwards he did get more work done than I thought he would. He said the movie was "OK," but I think he liked it. Then we did a brilliant thing - we bought the "Cooking Guide" for Nintendo DS. We'd been talking about it for a while and I thought it was something that would help difficult child 3 learn to cook and to do a number of other things. So this evening I had difficult child 3 helping me in the kitchen. We worked together and followed some of the recipes, adapting as we went (amazingly, he coped with this) and we've put more stuff in place for a recipe to cook tomorrow for dinner. After he did the bulk of the work, including organising the timing, for "bangers & mash" for dinner tonight, difficult child 3 said he felt a sense of achievement. And no nagging, no hassles - I loved it! I'm thinking of getting one of these for difficult child 1 as a wedding present. Certainly, I want him to have a practice run on difficult child 3's 'game'. So today for difficult child 3 - we have had two big, new things in one day. A new movie, and the chance to really do well with a new skill. A good day, for us. Enjoy your Tuesday. Marg [/QUOTE]
