I apologize for the lack of time here right now.  Our family is going through some major things and it is leaving me emotionally and physically drained.  I'm trying to function on little sleep, a lot of physical exhausting, and way too much mental stress and fatigue  ---- and I am doing ok compared to part of the family!!!!    I have always been one who fixes things and I can't fix this.  So all my time and energy is going to this area of my life right now.  It will balance out and I won't be so responsible for so much soon.    Please bear with me -- lift up a few prayers or good thoughts for those involved.   Love to all of you.   :cuddle;

Take care of what you can, and try to get some rest in the meantime. You really dont, ( even tho I think you can) need to solve all the problems in the world and family problems are the worst.    :grouphug; :grouphug;

Thinking of you and your family.  Family stress is the worst, because you love them and you can't always fix things.  That's why hugs and "I Love You" are free and priceless at the same time.


Love you Paris!   :grouphug;
