Thanks so much for taking the time and responding as you did. You hit the nail on the head. They can not read my mind and I need to speak what I feel without sounding so b*tchy. I am calling a family meeting tonight just as you suggested and letting them all know how I am feeling and what I want and need in the help department. Especially with me starting to look for work outside the home soon. Having the cold does not help my mood. You are right I have a great family and I have let them take advantage of me for to long. But for things to change I need to aproach this level headed and calm, and not point fingers or yell. Thanks for the hugs as well as the suggestions.

Thanks Deb. I was a bit nervous about responding the way I did, but I didn't say anything that I wouldn't say to a girlfriend of mine if she'd been sitting in our living room and unloading over a cup of coffee. Things definitely need to get on a better track for you, especially if you'll be working out of the home soon. At that point, you won't be able to do everything. I know feeling sick doesn't help moods - I get either ultrasensitive or totally unresponsive!

Good luck.
