Hon, I'm sorry i missed this. I love fall also, but I'm not really inlove with the stress that starts piling up, regardless of holidays. That and though I love the holidays, I am very tired of my in laws constantly barging in with their drama and "Me! Me! Me!" attitudes just when I have been dearly looking forward to a quiet celebration with just my hubby and kids. I hear them start talking about inviting themselves to Christmas, and I start feeling nauseated.

Hang in there, Chris. We are here, if a bit irregularly. I hadn't seen you about and was getting woried actually. All the HUGGS you can take, friend.
