Ok, all of you wise ones, I will try to follow your leads. Just a kind hi and that's it besides organizing kid specifics (who's picking up whom, etc.). And I keep trying to GAL. This fall things get better -- I'm starting a new job teaching at the U -- but I have to make it through the summer. I'll keep calling the girlfriends...
And JustD -- I know that feeling so well. Go with anything your dr. gives you. I'm on anti-anxiety meds and I can't even imagine what I would be doing otherwise. They are a great help - think of them like glasses: if you have poor vision, you don't question the need for help. I hope you find the balance tonight and that tomorrow will be better!
