[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 33139, member: 1991"] Sharon, I hope all goes well for your mother's visit. Sounds like exciting stuff for difficult child, visiting the Middle School. SRL, don't exhaust yourself with the cleaning. And don't worry about the furniture - get some old shawls, scarves or some throws and they'll brighten up the place. Put a pink globe in the lamp and leave the main lights off and you'll be fine. I've had a slightly less busy day, but still more driving around than I'd expected. difficult child 3 has had a slow week, school-wise, tomorrow is his last day of term so I want him to finish any outstanding work, plus I'm going to make him do more work over the next few days to catch up a bit more. I figure if I can get him to do two hours' work every second day, he should have caught up over the next two weeks. Here's hoping! easy child & BF1 are staying overnight tomorrow on their way through to his family in Newcastle. We'll see them for another sleepover on Sunday night - not much but I take what I can get. difficult child 1 didn't go to the funeral today (his girlfriend's aunt, killed a week ago in a boat/ferry collision under Sydney Harbour Bridge). She had asked him not to go, she was also worried about media coverage. There were some press there but they didn't seem to be pestering the family, thank goodness. It is unusual to have him home on a Wednesday night - we might even have him home for Easter! I expect they'll be organising themselves tomorrow. Sometimes I feel we're little more than a convenient boarding house, what with easy child & BF1 using us as a staging post heading north and difficult child 1 & girlfriend staying here when she wants time in the bush and beach... easy child 2/difficult child 2 has finally gone back to her evening classes this week, she's due home any minute now. Have a good Wednesday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
