thank you. it's good to hear from you!
my eldest doesn't live at home and has a full time job, fiance, wedding planning, etc. she doesn't have much time. i am going to ask her to help some while hubby is in florida for 10 days in february. that's about the most she can do. the youngest works a part time job, goes to school, etc. she helps when she can. hubby works daylight to dark and helps when he's here. i just feel bad asking any of them to help. they stay so busy and work hard themselves.
my mother gets him every tuesday for the afternoon (t day) and then again from friday to saturday. it's about the most she can do right now. there's no one else. his mother and father don't see him unless my mom has him. also, he has a really hard time when he sees them for too long...sleeping problems, etc, so i won't ask them to do anything for the baby's sake.
if i make it through being stuck in the house this winter, i'll be alright. we're going to check out library reading circles and then spring will be here

also, when he's a bit older, he'll be able to attend head start or preschool. i just need to keep a cap on the depression for the next few months and i should be fine.
manage time and keep a cap on the depression...not too hard, right? hehe
be safe and love ya,
