Jodi,

Did you get the latest attachment I sent to you regarding Abby's invitation?

Let me know. I now have it in Power Point and can email it to you again. Let

me know.

Thanks, Amy (mom to Abby-RSS)

Poor thing. You must be totally mentally and physically exhausted.

That's the good thing about this group. We ALL know what it is like

to feel that way sometimes. SO, even if your husband doesn't act

like he appreciates you, we sure do cuz we know! We know you are

working you butt off, trying to celebrate New Year's, trying to get

food prepared, trying to hold it together and not totally melt into a

puddle on the floor because you are so tired and stressed, trying not

to blow up at the next person that walks through that door, and

trying to help your son get better....... Should I go on? And, all

you need is for your husband to bring you the flowers that you need

for your centerpiece, or just a little hug saying, " I am so sorry you

are stressed, but you are doing a heck of a job! " , or just a little

touch on the arm and a look that tells you he understands, too. See,

I told you I understand, and so does all the others on here. We love

you and we'll appreciate you! ) Right girls!?

Hugs,

Jodi R.
