L2, I hope you were able to coax some sleep. trust me, I understand those wee small hours of the morning...they can be tough. and while we won't have the lives we envisioned, and we feel like we failed our children, we also have the choice to really do well by them. just a different reality than our vision, but I firmly believe we have the power to make this impact our kids a lot, or have it impact them to a far lesser degree.
take care of yourself.
oh, and lwb, you are too sweet. I say stick with her, l2. if you are looking for a strong woman who truly defines the word lady, she is it.
