Between the house, the kids, the school, and the job, I was spread SOOOO thin. It was not good. I started to resent all of the "fun" activities and became a little bitter about it.<br /><br />I hope things slow down for you in the new year.

I think the parents would have been willing, but I never thought to ask I'd gotten so used to being self-sufficient. <br /><br />Good grief on the short notice you've been getting. May your toilets be scrubbed soon.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.com
