[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 430100, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Just checking in right before bedtime again. Had a rough day with difficult child 3 today. We went in to school but I had some difficulty getting difficult child 3 moving, and he was irritable and very "edgy" all morning. He even got stroppy with his teacher, who is the kindest, most patient person. He had trouble staying on task and they didn't get as much done as they expected. Meanwhile he was reacting at every little noise. Not a good day. After the school session we left to go to the therapist, where we talked about how far behind he is and how he needs to put in extra time to catch up. He then began to get snaky with therapist. We did resolve things as far as we could, we'll see how well it bears fruit. He wanted to drive the car from there, but with the way he was, I didn't feel he was safe. We dropped in on husband at work who picked up on difficult child 3's mood quickly and endorsed my decision to not let him drive. So as we drove off, difficult child 3 was not arguing about it (thankfully). Just down the road was a golden arches drive-thru (poor value, in my opinion, but handy) and difficult child 3 ate his lunch while I drove. He saw the sense in him not driving so he could eat. He then fell asleep for the rest of the hour's drive home. After that, he was a lot nicer to know. He's been a darling, in fact. I just made that point to him - his problems today were almost certainly lack of sleep on top of his condition; he just can't get away with it like other people can. Tomorrow difficult child 3 & husband are off to play trains while I go out to my writing workshop. Hopefully if the lad gets some sleep tonight, he will have a good day. husband is planning on stopping at our GOOD burger place at the beach on the way home. For the same price as today's golden arches meal, you can get a burger the size of a dinner plate, cooked fresh. With loads of salad, fresh hunk of meat, all the trimmings. A useful lesson. Enjoy your Friday. Marg [/QUOTE]
