Thanks so much, Kat and Sugar. Listening to everyone's situations helps me, reminds me, encourages me. Every day.
Sara, long term husband changing........no thanks. I'll stick with the one I got, through better and worse.
My son is a lucky boy. He had his family birthday last weekend, and tomorrow he is having a "friend birthday". 4 of his closest buddies are coming over. Race Car theme. H mowed a race track in our grass in the backyard. H's idea. Also, H made a "car ramp" to race Hotwheels down the driveway, and then the boys can use their very own tape measure we got them (which they can clip to their pants) to measure how far they go. My S is so excited he has been singing in bed for the past hour. Life is good.
