I have an hour's commute (minimum) each way for work, a romantic relationship to keep up, a home to care for, and adult children who still need me from time to time.</p> <p>I've moved so many times in my adult life that I don't have a group of women-friends geographically close whom I can call up for a coffee klatch or a movie. I depend on the Internet to help me feel connected. Is that a bummer? yes, but I also know it's here even if I only have a few minutes to spare.</p> <p>So Chris - if you have a few minutes to spare and want to pop in, you can! If you don't, that's ok too. Honestly, I wonder how I survived when my children were little and I was all alone out there in the big, wide world! There are tons of message forums out there just for moms in your situation. I hope you'll find a bit of time for those, so you don't get to feeling too isolated. Just come on back over here when and if you can. We'll be here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-going-to-be-missing-for-awhile#post-169391 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:40:42 +0000 taylor 169391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:( hope things settle out for your daughter, we will miss you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-going-to-be-missing-for-awhile#post-169342 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:45:53 +0000 yublocka 169342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope things settle down for you soon and fall into place.

One of my sons has severe food allergies as well. It's scary when you don't know what's going on. Hopefully you'll get that sorted out.</p> <p>And hopefully a lot of time with the baby this summer will help big sister develop more of a bond with the new baby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-going-to-be-missing-for-awhile#post-168762 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 11:42:17 +0000 Katiepea 168762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, you poor thing and your poor little daughter as well - you guys have certainly been going through a very rough time by the sounds of it. </p> <p>I hope that things improve dramatically very soon!

Hopefully she will grow out of her intolerance's. You will be missed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-going-to-be-missing-for-awhile#post-168753 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:28:07 +0000 crwilson 168753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just as I was starting to get back into things here and starting to think about pulling together a wardrobe, I'm afraid I'm probably not going to be around much for awhile. My oldest daughter is not adjusting well to the new baby, and since she's out of school for the summer, she's become even more time intensive. Plus, we just found out that she has much, much more extensive food allergies (she's allergic to nearly every grain, literally, plus anaphylactic to peanuts and egg whites and maybe dairy) than we had realized, so we're going to be doing a serious elimination diet in order to reduce her exposure, in addition to testing to make sure that there's not a more serious underlying condition that's causing the allergies.</p> <p>in any case, I just wanted to say something before I disappeared. Hopefully I'll still be able to get on sometimes and post feedback. When things settle down, I really do want to get my wardrobe in shape, since right now it involves way more yoga pants than it should. </p>
