karen .... are you still babysitting ???
maybe you need to take a few days for yourself ... clear the head ... maybe this weekend seeing it is a long one ...
send pat off in the camper ... and tell the kids you are going with him ... lock the doors and put the answering machine on ... to screen the calls ..... and just vege and plan some sewing stuff on saturday (clean and dust if you must) .. but only on saturday ....... and then sunday and monday ... sew and relax ......
tell pat he is not allowed home till after dark on monday ... haha ... i reckon he will find a good fishing spot and stay away for as long as he can ...
