Always, you are so right. Last January (I'm almost embarrassed that it's been so long) I went out with my girlfriend for my birthday. Nothing big, just dinner, reminising and a few marghareta's (sp) and I got a tatoo. But we had so much fun! Will definitely plan something like that again. I always have so much guilt leaving the kids but I need to let them have alone time with their dad.

I also have an older friend, (my Mom's age) that went thru something similar a long time ago (she is still married) and she wants to have a girls night out going to a movie and dinner or bowling - I think I will give her a call soon too.

Thanks again for all of your support. Even though I don't "know" you, you have become someone I really count on and someone that maybe someday I could be good friends with and we could be laughing about the events of 2005-2006.....
