that was kind enough to offer a word of support and encouragement.

You know who you are and you know who you aren't.

After spending a pleasant "me" day, it was comforting to know that some of you understand the situation I am dealing with.

I don't see any reason to re-hash it and will deal with situations as they arise, but I did want to add some final thoughts.

DW has left with kids to visit family in Canada in full "Fairy Goddess" fashion. Dyed her hair pink, bought a bunch of belly dancing outfits and is off to explore her new found identity as a "Poly Girl".

While I am stuck running the business, I actually have an overall sense of relief now that everyone is gone. I am not concerned with her absconding with BS8 as it's much too early for her to make that type of decision, so I guess I am more relieved to have a break from the Skids and almost constant "discussion" on her latest spiritual insights.

I love the morning. With each new day comes the promise of so many possibilities.

My BS8, as usual, is up with me. What a wonderful time, I wish it could last. The joy in sharing these moments is indescribable. He bought a new book at a yard sale yesterday. "Pokémon" is his latest thing. How incredible...he likes to read! Unlike my SKids who abhor reading in any form. Especially instructions of any sort. Whenever anything came with instructions, it was either explain it to them or watch them damage, destroy or ruin things as they proceed from the illustrations only.
