that does suck about the camera. I did the same thing a couple years ago, but it was more like 200. I'd be in BIG trouble if it was 600! ;\)

yes, definitely stop thinking about how H doesn't want to be with you. I remember doing that myself, and I know it's hard, but your idea to spend more time with people who do, is a great idea.

and what about just hiring a sitter when you want to do something? Why always leave it up to H whether or not you can do something or not? I know it's tough to leave the kids with a sitter, but if you have good friends that have good referrals, that can definitely help. Or some churches even do a moms night out sometimes.
