Now that you've finished your back yard you can come help me with mine. I don't care if the lines aren't straight.

In fact, I'll let you use my weedwacker and you can play last man left standing. Very helpful proceedure for venting without actually harming.

It is funny how lonely a home can be without the kids. I don't know if it's a case of guilt because we let them go or that we wanted to go have fun too.

It's especially difficult with your "hubby" situation. I've had to go through that type of turmoil in the past. No fun.

My sister's (who has never been married) famous words to me were go have a double fudge sundae and deal with it. You might try it, it might help you feel better. (Notice I did not mention make the situation better).
