ORIGINAL: sirsholly i hate it that so many are having such serious problems. Can i share something? Last thanksgiving i was doing all the cooking to take to a friends. I was spastic all day...having so much to do. Jim was working a daylight shift so it was more difficult because i had an active toddler to care for. I put the baby gates up and left the LoudOne in the living room to play by himself. The more i did the more their was to do. I was listening to the radio...a favorite country station..and the DJ said he was aware of what the cooks go through on a holiday and he said "It does not matter...let it go!" It seemed he was talking just to me. I looked into the living room at this tiny child...all alone...and realized the holiday prep really did not matter and i was ignoring that which did. I went in and sat on the floor with him and was rewarded with a huge smile. Later on that day the kitchen caught on fire, as if to reinforce the point, and the entire dinner was ruined. But that smile will live forever. The point is i had lost sight of the important things and allowed myself to get occupied with trival matters. To quote someone near/dear to me said yesterday **Noone gives a shit** Relax folks, it's a joke over on the H&P thread :) Btw, it's THERE not THEIR *nods* I hate the grammmmmmar police, don't you? I agree completely, ignore the trivial stuff & concentrate on what matters MOST. You did the right thing..............it pains me to admit it, but you really did.
