I take it that he never called. That is just criminal actually. How do you explain that to a two-year-old? That's a big reason I struggle with not doing everything asked of me when it comes to the two girls.

I know the doormat theory, but I want my girls to know I'm there for them -- no matter what.

You talk a lot about thought stop. How do you do it? I'm trying to remember the "Power of Now" book by Eckhart Tolles. His teaching is you can only live today.

I'm trying to remember this is the only Nov. 3, 2009 that I'll ever get and to make it a good one.

If you think of rescheduling the Shedd trip, let me know. If it's a free weekend for me I'd love to meet you there. I live 90 minutes west of Chicago and have friends in the city. You've been a tremendous help.

I hope the day goes well for you.
