You are all just the greatest. You know, it's probably silly but one of the reasons that I don't want to quit is fear of not fitting in here anymore. It's nice to have so much support. It really doesn't seem real to to considering quitting si. This thread is a good reminder. I've felt like it a couple of times since this weekend, particularly when I get frustrated with the kids. I managed to get the freezer defrosted and refrigerator defrosted yesterday, but blew up a few times about the kids standing around staring and not doing their chores. By 6:00 I was ready to send them all to bed just for the sake of my sanity!

Ooh, I had another thought, and it seems to have escaped now. You know, I'm not sure that I ever did feel like I belonged anywhere, but I do here.
