I have read your novel and can honestly say that I have no new advice to offer, I wish I did.
I just re-printed the stages of MLC and am going to re-read that, looking for a new tidbit to glean maybe.
I send good thoughts your way. Is it hotter than heck in Kansas these days? We have had a very mild summer, it was in the 60's last week which is highly unusual for August in Indiana.
My kids have orientation Aug 24 then start to school on the 25th. What about your S?
It is kind of scaring me that I feel like I am starting to know your H's schedule. Isn't tomorrow the day he spends in the building with OW?
Keep up the dbing I am proud of you. Sorry I am not more help. Sometimes I scan through the threads looking for someone who is two steps ahead of me so I can see what to expect.
