Between computer trouble and some relative problems I have not been on for a long while. I hope everyone has been o.k. It is going to take me awhile to read and get caught up so don't be scared to send me an update or two. thanks guys and gals.

We've missed you , Tamara! Have your issues (computer/relatives) resolved themselves???

Computer is reprogrammed (sp?), We've found out that father-in-law has tumours on his lung that can't be operated on, sis-in-law might have breast cancer, good friend has had a break down and a family member has tried to commit suicide.

I have been emotionally exhausted for awhile, while all this is going on I have had to look after some children for the family members and have been running myself in the ground but as of yesterday I have declared that I am taking my life back and that everyone is pitching in and doing their share.

Grandmother has to go through a surgery this week so we've flown in an aunt to stay with grandpa and uncle(parapalegic) for a week. Dropped off sis-in-laws child with her sis-in-law and got 'good friends' brother to come home for a week.

Yesterday I spent the whole day with hubby at the shopping mall and just driving around. We ate out all day and I left the house in shambles for the day. I'll just clean it today. I needed to get out.

Sounds like a great plan to take your life back, you need to take care of yourself! I'm so sorry to hear about all your extended family's health issues

tamara, take care of yourself... sounds like you have a good plan to. we miss you!

Wow you have a lot going on! I am glad to hear you are taking your life back.
