I am still here and reading all the new posts.

I am so sad for Burntmarshmellow. Nobody needs to go through so much grief. I am so sorry for the losses. Just when I think I have it "that bad", someone always has it much worse. I am so glad you opened up to us. It helps just to talk it out. burntmarshmellow

I have to say my birthday was totally uneventful. I got a precious bead made ring and handmade cards from my little ones that I will never let go. It makes me wonder about who will be going through my things after I die and what will get thrown away. Its all just sentimental stuff that no one else can give a rat about. Trash to them, but my life to me.

Yesterday, child swap day, was my day, but I ran to the aide of the other parent when they called me crying. I went to pick up my child, but took her two home with me in addition. Am I nuts? There is no such thing as "my time" anymore. I am always with kids. Love them, but need "my time", sometime.

I DID finish the bottle of wine on my b-day and never did take the bath my girls commanded. Just wanted to be left alone and found my time spent in front of the computer. David's ryhme was precious.

I am still here and lurking, just not responding cause I have no magical words to make someone's day. Does that make sense?

I think about all of you all day long. I truly care. My love goes out to each and everyone of you.

Bp, how are you? David, so glad you've come back. Alffe, did you run into your neighbor again? Doody, is Bruna's barking picking up, surely she has found home and guarding it, curious, I miss them bananas on my screen, love them bananas, wren are you there? Abbie please get some rest, Chemar, you are really loved with all your loving hugs. I know I am missing a bunch of ya here, but these were the ones that popped into my head. Now I am brain dead.

Gotta get the kiddos to bed now. Just wanted to check in.
