[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 18698, member: 1991"] G'day Sharon. I'm glad you had a good night at the wrestling. It's funny how early our male difficult children become aware of girls. And her first night wrestling? That was a bit hard on her, to throw her in the deep end like that. It's been a fairly quiet Friday here today, difficult child 3 once again working as hard as he can on his schoolwork. He does get distracted at times but is highly motivated to get his work done. But despite his efforts it's piling up again, I need to talk to his teachers. He can't be spending both days all day of every weekend, doing schoolwork. I'm hoping to sort out some compromise next week (he has a study day at the school, we'll meet with teachers then). Poor kid was in tears this afternoon, feeling overwhelmed. He then spent another solid hour completing his week's maths work. Tomorrow he and I are going to work on two weeks' of art for him. I'm getting out my paints to 'play' with my own craft - decoupage boxes. Or maybe some T-shirt painting. Or maybe some watercolour gift tags. Whatever - I'm not fussy. But this way we can work as a team. I do need to paint a banner for my chess class, I could use my fabric paints on that, I have an old banner I was working on for a job I did years ago, the fabric is going to be wasted anyway if I don't find some other use. So here's hoping the work gets done quickly and I can take him to the beach! Here's hoping the weather is OK for it. Enjoy your Friday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
