Thank You!

Ok, so maybe sometimes I sound like I don't need to be asked how I am all the time, especially since I pretty much always answer "I'M FINE!" But really, whether I'm fine or not so fine, I deeply, sincerely, wholly appreciate all the little things that my friends, family, neighbors do for me and say to me while my other half is away.

Moms from way back east who say "just let me know if you need us to come;" neighbors who shovel my driveway when it snows and have my kids stay over just a little while longer after school; friends who offer to have my kids- "just leave them here a little longer- he/she can play." Neighbors who offer to stay at my house if I ever have to drive the babysitters home, and babysitters who are more than willing to come each week and PLAY PLAY PLAY with the kids so I can have a few hours out.

To be truely honest, I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have such supportive and loving friends. Well, for one...I wouldn't be so fine.

I THANK YOU for what you do and say, for asking how I am, for just assuming I'd like the help. It's so very thoughtful and I love it that you're there, in whatever small ways, you're there. It helps stay sane, stable, content, happy, despite the circumstances.

It helps me be fine. So, thanks.
