Joelle

I'm so sorry that all this is happening to you and your family - seems like you have taken one hit after the other. I so wish I lived closer to you so I could do something to help - even if it's just to offer a shoulder to cry on. But...you know I'm just a phone call away.

I know it seems like you're being spread mighty thin these days - and having the one person you counted on for so much out of play for the time being has got to be very difficult. Please be kind to yourself - and take the time to rest and take care of yourself, too. Housework will wait (I know...mine still is!) and the boys are old enough to help with that and with things like grocery shopping and meal prep.

You know your family is in my prayers every day - and I say a special one for you. Call me anytime - you know I'm usually always here and usually always awake !

Man, Joelle...is there a button or a brass ring nearby on this merry-go-round that you are on? If so, push the button, or pull the ring and stop the ride for a few days!! You need a break!

Joelle,

I just wanted to let you know that I am also thinking about you and hoping that you all get a break soon. As everyone has said, try to take some time for yourself even if it is just a half hour.

Take care,

Barb

Joelle, Sorry to hear about the full plate. I've had years like that where you feel like screaming "stop the ride, I want to get off!!".

Know we're here for ya as best we can. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family going out.
