so you guys really don't want me to leave !

very thoughtful of you KAW.

I skimmed through your post while dd pushed her way around trying to give me and the puter kisses so I'll have to come back and read it again when I have more time to actually absorb what you've said.

I know there's work to be done.

here's a little positive even if it doesn't happen...

ok so we all (those who know me anyway) that the way I came to know of ow, was that she had asked my h to drive her to a treatment and they were seen there by one of MY people thus he told me he was there with her.

why is that relevant??....

because over the past couple of months I've had an issue with my eye that has required me to drive into boston and have it checked to see if the problem has resolved itself or not..

h has not made himself available to help me with the kids for these appointments and it was a real sore spot for me because he DID take ow, granted a slightly diff time of year but STILL.

so I have an apointment this thurs and h said..."I'll see if we can get my mom to watch the kids" (ok so I thought he was just covering himself and trying to find a helper for the kids) then said "and I'll see if I can come with you"

now folks, even if it doesn't come to be that he can come in with me...the simple fact that he of his own initiation brought up the topic is HUGE!
