Both my sons' little suits have now been dubbed (by them) their "Funeral Clothes". In the last year, they have attended the funerals of two Great-Grandmothers (one on each side), and one Grandmother (My mom, who bought hem their suits).

My big boy is eight today, my little one is five and a half. They seem to take it all in stride. Liam said, "After we go to someone's funeral, then we don't get to see them again, right."

*sigh*

I've taken on a short-term job, which I have talked about a little. It seems it will last most of the rest of their summer break, but I can do most of the work from home.

All my 'fre time' is scheduled by my husband, who wants to make every weekend count with some sort of camping/biking outing or trip to amusements of different kinds.

And visiting those soon to die, and attending their funerals. Anyway, I'm done. NO ONE else is allowed to die right now. PERIOD. *sigh*

Anyway, work and home and family obligations are just making it hard for me to keep up with people. This forum has meant a lot to me, and I have been honored to make some true friends here.

This isn't a goodbye thread. I hope I'll still get to come play some, and all that. But I will be out of the loop on things. It's not that I don't care about what's happening on the forum, and in the lives of it's members, but I have compelling reasons to be other places. Take Care.

We would never assume you didn't care.

Good luck with life and the 'Rack will be here when you get back.

Happy Birthday to your adorable son!

I'll miss you Olivia. [Frown]

May the Fourth be with you! [Wink]

PS Before you go, what happened to Ben and Lyndsie? I haven't seen them posting lately. Did they move to Atlanta?

Have a good summer and hopefully you can get some rest in the fall (that's a switch).

We'll miss you.

Thanks, guys! [Group Hug]

Good luck to you all! Mrs. M, I wish you extra special goodness. [Wink]

Morbo, Ben and LindsAY ( [Wink]

) have moved to Kennesaw and are settling in. The do not have internet access, though we let them use ours until our large computer got infected with some horrible virus that killed it. Anyway, they are constantly asking me what's going on here, and I never know what to say because I usually stick to fluff when I do visit.

Anyway, they should be back soon, and are also in frequent contact with Taalcon. I'm sure he'll let you know if anything major happens. [Smile]
