Well, we may be kindred worry worts, but I guess we are doing ok

when you consider that everyone on the list that shared their

opinion offered reservations about the weekend away! Maybe were not

so bad after all...Of course our daughters would see it

differently! :-)

Seems like your hubby really has kind of lost his drive and

confidence....that must make things so hard for you. Keep giving

him encouragement and respect for the things he is doing and maybe

you will be able to help build that confidence right back up!

So, did u give miss C. an answer to the weekend away yet...You could

be in for a long mopey weekend! :-)
