BND,
Six kids??!! I didn't know that! Are they all yours and H's joint natural offspring (if that's not too personal a question)? The info isn't in your signature file, so I was wondering...how old are they? Boy/girl?

I know you are just venting, and I am sure it is frustrating trying to manage everything on your own, but if you look back, weren't there times when you would have given your right arm to have this be your biggest problem? I'll bet there are plenty of people here who would love to be in your current shoes! I know that I have become MUCH better at letting go of all the petty irritations now that I have things on my mind that are so much more horrible. ...Does that help you put things in perspective? I'm certainly not trying to beat you up! I am sure you will get something worked out to deal with the sitch.

It sounds like the job(s) are really a great experience for you! It sounds lovely to me (although I have come to realize that I only like to cook when I don't HAVE to cook!). ;\) My mom always used to say that no woman has more than twenty years of cooking in her, and that was a few years ago for me, but I may have burned out early! \:\)

Hope you are doing well today, BND!

Peace,
Dawn
