Hi ladies!
Yes, I know AG is right, but it is so much more rewarding to work on things which I can directly control and which I have a chance at real sucess.

Actually, I feel like AG right now...totally overcommitted at work. All in one week, I have 5 candidates I have to interview, put together a customer preso and have my counterpart from Europe in town to strategize and, of course, socialize. Ugh! Somewhere in there is my regular job as well. Oh and did I mention that my cell phone died as well. At least I have a great team to support me that can do all of the day to day stuff without me. \:\)

Nevertheless, I will get back in touch with the L and get an updated Will and a Trust in place (first 2 baby steps - BS1 and BS2). I think Donna is also right that a financial planner might be useful in terms of knowing what I can do for the kids without having it be an issue in the D. I guess that will be BS3.

Well, W will return tomorrow. She only talked to the kids once in the week she was gone. I am feeling so sad for them, esp. when I see the great moms that surround us in the neighborhood who are so invested in their kids, supporting them in different activities, just being there for them. I somehow feel responsible for this even though I know that there is no way that makes sense.

Take care, SD
