Fun (sarcasm inserted) - keep us posted...and gesundheit on the last part!

Thanks, my allergies are bothering me today. Must be time for more benadryl. That guardian is someone who will sit down and get my niece to tell her story- since the counselor doesn't really want to help her any more since he's going to have to testify.

You guys are making this harder on me than it should be. If you don't stop I'm going to HAVE to insist on food and cash related bribes... :D

Nah....it will all work out for the best and those of us "fighting" over you will be happy when everything is said and done (jobs, sister, niece, move and re-signing). We all want that.....and no pressure.....

Aww, I didn't think I could love you more- and then you went and said something so sweet! :)

Thanks!

I'm off to bed now. I think I actually get a bath tonight. I swear I'm always competing for my own tub- the niece and my sister always seem to beat me to it!
 
Oh sure... I finally get my own computer back and you leave... I see how it is! :)
and I HAVE sweet tea too!
