OK, so I got a good cry out. Took a mini-nap, then came out from the bedroom (I try to keep it under 15 minutes). Had dinner with the clan, then they got me to play a board game and get me out of the funk.

{{{OT, mk}}} Thanks. Those were both good messages to hear right now.

Friend just came over; she was talking with D8, and my little one mentioned that I was always on the computer, and sometimes the kids had to make dinner (ouch--I think it happened 3 times in the last three months, when S wanted to cook...but I am sure that this gets back to H). So, I am logging off, and will need to make a more concerted effort to get involved with them when we have the time together--not get too caught up with grad school, work and keeping up with the house. Anyone have a cloning machine?

Well, night all. Hopefully I can stay steady until tomorrow night, now.
