Just what makes you think we'd forget you and yer cute little birdie?

Welcome back! You are among friends here, so check in every now and again, would ya? We worry about you!

So sorry about your troubles, Amy. I hope your Dad, DD and Aunt are all doing much better. That has to be so draining on you.

Very happy you and the kids get to go on vacation! When I find myself dreading something that I must do, I play the "what's the worst that could happen" game with myself. Once I've identified my fears and figured out how I can solve those situations should they arise, it gives me the courage to tread into unknown territory.

I expect you'll be able to look back and marvel at how wonderful and "worth it" the whole experience was. Please come back and tell us about it, K?
