I'm still here!

I am still here! I haven't abandoned the board, just havent had the strength emotionally for it for the past several weeks.


The past few weeks have been ultimately high stress for sure, including my 6 year old making herself sick with worry. I have been working on that with her. Tomorrow after Daddy goes to work, I am going to sit down with her and have a heart to heart talk, putting my situation into 6 year old terms. That is going to be really hard for me. I know I am going to cry for sure. I don't want her to end up having to take a pill later on in life because she can't deal with things.


Erik got into a car accident a few weeks ago. He is fine, the car isn't. It is being repaired and hopefully back by tomorrow. So needless to say I have been carting his sorry behind all over the place.


Over the weekend we did a very last minute get away. We took Allison to a hotel with some indoor pools and a water park near by. She proved us wrong by leaps and bounds! Didn't want us to go down the water slides with her. Instead she happily took the face-fulls of water, which is a big deal for her. Also she went down the waterslide in the dark on an innertube all by herself! Came out with the hugest grin on her face.


There is more but I know you guys get the jist of it.


Before I try to go asleep, again, I want to welcome all of our newbies!
