Incidentally Sandi, what did you think about the response posted by futureunknown? I liked it.
It sounded real good, Antlers. I guess I gave you a hard time about the Mother's Day thing when you had already beaten yourself over it. I was scanning the posts trying to catch up when I should have taken it more slowly and read it throughly. You can count on me to sound like the mindset of a WAW..... Like I said before, it takes all of us to try to understand things. It is hard to keep one's perspective about some things. BTW, just so you will know.....in my "scanning" the posts, I think I missed the part about her getting the kids later in the day on Mother's Day, so I did not have the full picture.....which was my fault. I do apologize for not reading more carefully.
I have not read futureunknown's stitch, but sounds like you could use the fresh advice.
Take care, Sandi
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
