(((Opti))), Hope you get out of your low and frustrated mood soon. Don't laugh but I play classical music and light candles to help me relax and sleep better. Can't remember the kids being three but maybe like the "terrible twos" it will end soon. The single parenting thing is a challenge even when they get older. Our lives are what they are right now and have to work on making the best of each day. I try to not think of the distant future and that helps when I'm having a bad day, hour, or even few minutes. Everyone has stress, including your H, and he's got to be thinking about what he's missing out on with you and S3. Us more responsible folks need to focus on the rewards and realize that the "ant" can take a break and have a good time too every once in a while to recharge instead of the "grasshopper" if you recall the story. It may sound like oversimplification, but try to relax some and things will come easier. Have a good weekend. RonJon
