Lee Anne,

Sorry to hear the news about the job; know how disappointed you must be.

I think focusing on the cruise is definitely a spirit-lifter!

The kids WILL give you gray hair, but in not too long, you'll be amazed at where the time has gone and remember mostly the fun times of that age. This struck me particularly in this last week when I went to 2 funerals for parents of 2 families with whom I carpooled from kindergarten thru high school. Good memories and it's wonderful to see how all of these kids have turned out! These were the first of my contemporaries to die and quite an experience.

Chin up!
