But some of them are just "taking their ball and going home" and leaving everyone else to deal with the consequences. And I am so, so sorry that you may be left with the consequences. <br /><br />I am just hoping like crazy that you won't suffer much for this - you deserve a break, so now would be a good time!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180034761243431694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314273745230597113.post-37315894069631276282011-04-08T20:13:02.550-07:002011-04-08T20:13:02.550-07:00This blows.

I'm a lurker. This post ANGERS me beyond description. I've been mad and upset about the potential shut down all day because it is so SILLY (not really the word I want to use, but I'm trying to be nice). Now I'm just flat out PISSED. Things will work out...and one day, when you're taking your two precious babies to the park...or going for an afternoon stroll on a beautiful spring day...days like today will only be a distant memory.Janaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823461060278451445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314273745230597113.post-10584170826209388612011-04-08T19:20:46.677-07:002011-04-08T19:20:46.677-07:00Sending hugs, hope, and many prayers for you guys ...Sending hugs, hope, and many prayers for you guys and your beautiful babies!!
