Sorry I haven't been around much and posting sporadically. My friend whose husband is ill asked me to be the go-between contact for all of her friends and family, so she doesn't have to answer e-mails and phone calls right now. That is turning out to be quite a job, along with the stress of worrying about what is happening (and the news has not been good so far). I spent the weekend with her kids, though I did get a Mother's Day dinner in with my own baby!

It has been hard to concentrate or think about much else, and even though YLF is usually my escape, I'm finding that my brain feels a bit like slipping on banana peels right now. I know many of you have gone or are going through difficult situations also and my heart goes out to you.
