Thanks, Ona. I am feeling at low ebb at the moment, so I am trying to take care of myself first. While work is overwhelming, I can only give so much. I'm determined to do only what I can do, and not bring it home with me.

I do like my current salary and it will be helpful with the daycare costs, but I have to say that the lack of corporate stress and a heinous commute has a lot to recommend it!

I totally understand you on the micromanager... my boss is a total micromanager. I actually get excited when he goes away, simply because I will actually be able to get something accomplished without him interfering. I wish he would just let me do my job!

Your adoption class sounds really interesting, but emotionally wearing!

I too have been experiencing the stress/worry/something bad is going to happen thing of late. Much of it stems from my being overtired, I think. I found myself tremendously anxious this morning. After the IUI I felt much more relaxed. Had dinner with my brother and I feel like I am on a bit more of an even keel. For now, anyway! I know it will pass for you too.

Whatever possessed me to invite my whole family for Thanksgiving dinner? Was I INSANE?

Tring not to think about it...
