My mind is all awhirl with so many things that I could not sleep so I have been up since about 4. Awake longer though.
Diva K, I have already made plans to put a rail up on the wall between the toilet and the tub.

Not that he will use it. More likely to try to use the sink which is not all that attached to the wall. sigh My friend is going to fix the door this weekend so it will open OUT! You do not change Tom, you adjust, or try to. I am so sorry that you are having to go through all this. I imagine it is causing a lot of problems in terms of daycare and such. It seems to me that they are just as likely to get sick in daycare and since even the SAHM will probably have their children out and about they might as well stay in school and just weed out the sick kids if they show up at school and send them home. JMO I see them washing things down and such but that only works if you do it on an hourly basis and then it is not reliable if someone touches something. Will you have to make up those days? Sending you a bit of magic.
Ang, my kids did not really have grandparents either. Both sides were too old or too busy having more kids of their own. I have two grandchildren that I got the easy way and even though I have not seen them in a long time they are still my grandkids. Even if there were a divorce they would still be mine. I have never been able to find my shut off switch and do not really look anyway. I would probably favor the grandchild that was harder to love cause I am contrary but I would do my best to not let any of the others know. I tell ALL my grandkids that they are my favorites, and I am not lying. I will have two of them for the weekend. One is nearly 18, pray for me.

Will is a special person and his grandparents are missing out on a lot. Wish I lived closer so I could adopt him as mine. I need more grandkids and that is part of why I work at the CC.
M&N, do you have trouble with your font colors when sending email? If so you might just need to change your settings to html. I have problems with my laptop but have not bothered to fix things. Too many other things to do I guess. I hope your family is all well now and will stay that way. BTW, I think the reason that the religious orders do not take folks over a certain age is because many of us might contemplate that in our later years and they are having enough trouble supporting the retired community they already have. Is that something that you would really want to do? The only other alternative is to break the law and get put in a minimum security prison. (not kidding)

It is MY plan, want to join me? Where is one with a really good library?
Melissa, I used to buy children's books and read them on tape and mail the book and tape to my nieces and nephews. That might be a way for your mom and son to keep in contact? Of course, with the computer, things are even easier. Webcam??? Regular phone calls. That connection is so important, for them both.
Timmie, congrats on the weight loss. My problem is keeping off what I have lost. I lost three pounds last week and have found over 2 of it this week. See Saw, Marjorie Dall. It is perfectly alright to talk to oneself. I do often as it is the only intelligent conversation I get around here.

When you start answering yourself it can be a bit of a problem though.
They can clean etc. all they want outside my room. I cannot hear them.
WHEW!!! I thought I had lost this post and was about in tears. Anyway here is a link to one of the threads I was telling you all about. How about giving this gal a hand and making life better for all the Newbies out there?
