Hey Sarah! I could not imagine working full time w/children, so understand your need to take a break to spend time with them, as they are only little once. I miss those days of sitting in the rocker reading to them or watching a kid's movie together.

I guess I'm looking at it as ''You are so lucky that the Dr didn't find anything seriously wrong, esp MS". It can be such a devastating disease, I'm glad it hasn't claimed you.

Maybe by taking a break, it will give you time for yourself too, away from thinking about MS or anything else. Take more bubble baths, paint your toenails and just relax on your off time a little more. Your'e a very busy Mom and that's such an important job.

Take care and take time for YOU and your family.

Also, keeping your Dad in my prayers still and hope his treatment is going ok.
