Thanks for explaining UtahJay - and I understand now...
I'd been living practically alone - and now have a family of 5, including 3 little ones under 7 years old, and another dog, a cat (moved in yesterday), and a parrot and fish on their way to joining us too...Intimidating? Or just downright scary sometimes? Yep!!

Just meaning that change, even a good change has a way of making us think more than we should sometimes, worrying if things don't go as planned. At least this old worry wort does. Sorry if I said it wrong.

She has always had it in her, Justi.
As my son says, she is not changing, she is just realising what was happening, and is taking steps to fix it. She is a brave lass, with her heart in the right place...she just needed to find it.

You know it isn't all easy, TAPS.
But it's getting better...and that counts! I expect it will get easier as we go along.

True, I guess food4thought
But here in QUebec the Quebecois don't really celebrate it - although most English speaking families do. It is much bigger in USA...or even other provinces in Canada.

Beautiful Queen Mother
You are working miracles there. That was so great to have your DIL helping, doing things she has not wanted to do before. It is great. You have many gifts dear lady.

I can see the happiness in your words, the smile on your post, which of course makes me smile too. I also see just a wee bit of intimidation, but worry not it will work out if you all want it to...Right?

perhaps she will be able to cope much better with your unflappable
self there so that she feels there is more support for her. Someone else does some of the kitchen or the children she doesn't feel trapped or that she will be judged and has lacked the self esteem to believe in what she can do who she can cope with. I just pray for you all to become a happy healthy in mind and body family.You are very sepcial to us...
ps he ate all the lamingtons!!!!

Not so good being alone is it adnohr, nothing will ever run smoothly, but it is as good as it gets.
