Appreciate you taking the time .... my 'problems' PALE IN COMPARISON to some others here. I am almost shy to post. I am not sure I am a masochist, I just want to please. Please NGF, please my D8.... but you are right and said it much much better than I did (I will need to reiterate to NGF how I feel about her). She called back after the turmoil and I also spoke to her kids. I told them both that I understood that this was not easy for them (to which they answered it is not you John), nonetheless I asked them to cut their mother some slack and try to be nicer to her. I also told them (Including NGF) that for the time being they should spend some time as a family ... just the three of them. D8 was disappointed but we went bike riding, played soccer, washed my car (or rather sprayed each other with the hose) and ate ice cream. Now i am getting ready to play Wii and will probably head out with her on a picnic tommorow...Saratoga sounds nice to me!
