My heart just fluttered, this is so much a happppier outcome. Why I ask do you not have your family counseling business up and running this minute? Awesome. Forget it I already apologized for telling you how to fix it. Amazing you figured it out on your own all by your little self. You are the bomb!

You are too good at this. I have never had much patience with people who can't make up their own minds.

He obviously wants the best for you, and if this makes things a little easier for you, take full advantage. There is just no substitute for "quiet time." Take all you can get!

Tee Hee I thought that she would quickly start weighing up the fact that
she had her job back...the boring grind stuff cleaning washing cooking meals answering questions and I'll bet there will be some tantrums as those little boys get used to the old ways again. And is your son off to his job again in a few days? She will be full time on her own. oh has she ever bitten herself on the back side!!!!Good for you with the no. proud of ya darlin!

I'm glad your son is such a fun guy. Your story reminded me of something.
It's this fable about a man in India whose home was too crowded, his mother- and father-in-law, his wife and their five children, a young brother-in-law, a goat, some chickens, all in only three rooms. He went to the village guru and asked what he could do, as he did not have the money to build on to the house. The guru thought for a moment and suggested bringing a camel inside as well. The man thought this was very strange advice, but so as not to insult the guru he did so. A week later he went back, complained they were all going crazy, that the camel made rude noises and crowded everyone. So, the guru said, take out the camel. A day later, the man found the wise man and thanked him profoundly, because with the camel out of the way they had all the room they needed.
