Thank you all. Sometimes it is helpful to talk with people that have been through this. It helps me keep perspective when I really just don't want to keep perspective.
Kat, I think you really do get what I'm saying and have been there. I think you all do, but those words articulate what I couldn't. Thank you for that.
Nothing more to report today. Just another busy day. I'll pick up my kids this evening and get to spend some time with them - I'm looking forward to that. The next time I see them it's to drop them off at camp. I miss them. I miss having them home with me. I have to be careful to not pull them unfairly just because I miss them. Balance. I'm getting better at it.
Thanks guys!
AJ
