You know it's been soooo long and so much has happened on this thread now, but I guess they can still be called strange dream right? Lol. Chery even though your daughter isn't going to live with you that may all change in the blink of an eye. She may even decide not to wait for that blink. Until then we're here awaiting our "online mom" to knock some sense into us from time to time. I can't wait to tell you all that is happening while your gone for your sabatical. I don't think that it will only be me either. And on those late nights when you need someone well just remember we're here for you and we need you too.
And as for you chava... lol... keep dreaming about that house. Everything happens for a reason. You didn't really want to start a growth chart of the family on one of the walls in the kitchen just to have to move again in a few years as the family grows did you? As it is with a bigger house and a bigger dream it might be tough for a little while but you know all good things come to those who wait... on the other hand what's life if not for living.
I think we all need a purpose in life weither it be our children our significant others or our work. I say give it all a spot and a priority then you'll never run out of purposes. Always remember though without oneself one can't have a purpose and we need to take care of ourselves before we can care for anything else. Best wishes to the both of you. And as always keep us informed.
