I know it has been a long time since I last had the time to write. We are all doing okay for now it seems, although Wayne and I miss the kids terribly, and they miss us just the same.Alexsis is doing a jam up job taking care of them for now, but I miss being with them and it is starting to show to me in my heart. I have had several moments where I feel the need to be alone, I sneak into the ladies room or my office, phone home just to get a quick fix on one of their voices. Then I cry and  wish I was at home with them to share the day or homework or a movie....anything.The new job is very hard and it is not as fun as it should be, not because of anything that is in my control, just because of one individual who is way out of control. It saddens me that she is so mean and coarse with all of us. She used to be a sweet woman who loved life, now she is hateful and nasty. She needs a swift kick in the ass and so far it seems there is no one to give it to her.If she was like she used to be before she got this promotion (and it went to her head) things would be wonderful. I don't mean to gripe so much but if I hold it in and never let it out I might just explode. I am worried for my boss man "Big Gem" he doesn't need this kind f stress, the rest of us can handle it but he shouldn't have to!He is one of the best bosses and friends in this business that I ave ever had, I am so very grateful for his and his wifes friendship, they are loving and caring and have made Wayne and I a part of their family. When I lost my baby they were the first people to take the time to sit me down and let me know what was probably going to happen to me in my future.Momma Gem had experienced the same thing earlier in her life when she lost her baby and her husband on the same night to a drunk driver. I cried for her. I cried for both of us, and I still do. She is one of the most loving and thoughtful people that I have in my life today. My husband adores her, he says that I should have been granted a Mom lke that when I was growing up, he makes me smile.Well, eventually all the wrinkles will be ironed out, we are hoping to find a home this coming week-end, cross something for us, fingers, toes your eyes, anything and everything will be appreciated.I love you all so much, and I miss our chats! I think of each of you often and I am so very grateful for the hugs and the love. God Bless and know that I send hugs and loves back to each of you always....and Ann...you were right, there is always a fall somewhere along the way and I appreciate you being the one to catch me when I need it...thanks.XXXOOOHey Maymay, All is well for now with us. Daddy and I are working hard to make this a positive adventure. Tina is still being relunctant to give all her love to anyone, we understand, no rush. I hold her every chance I get. Hunter is still very much a 6 year old, full of energy and he is learning to love again, how to hug and how to show some emotion when things do not go the way he thinks they should. Both of them are doing great in school for now. Tina received Honorable Mention for her book board she did and the teachers still want to test Hunter for GATES. Momma needs to crash for the day. I sit here crying for you because I know one thing for sure, if you were here right now you would have this house thing figured out. Say a prayer for us that we find the right home in the right neighborhood and school district this weekend, could use some of that Maymay love.Always in my heart, your loving Momma.

I hope that things at work improve, it is horrible when there is one person that ruins it for the rest of the group! Maybe she will get some Christmas spirit in her or something? Anything is possible.
I am so glad that the kids are doing well, as well as can be expected. It is so hard on us adults, can\'t imagine how our children left behind feel.
I just find you to be an amazing woman! I think you are a great person, with a huge heart. You deserve the best of everything. Sending you best wishes, warm hugs, and lots of love!

Hi Jacqueline,
So nice to hear from you. Sounds like you\'ve run into that \"one in every crowd!\" I\'m sure you will figure out to get around that obstacle and keep your new adventure positive.
Tina and Hunter sound like they are doing fine with the adjustment.
I miss reading what\'s going on in your life, but know you are terribly busy. You wanted something crossed so that your answer to finding a new home will be found....I\'m crossing my heart. I have found that if you make decisions with your heart, they are generally the right decisions.
I still include MayLynn in my prayers every night, and I know that Kristie and her are best of friends, by this time. Take care my friend. I miss you. Love, Dawn

I am crossing everything so you may find the perfect place. I am very glad that the children are doing well. I understand the feeling of wanting to be alone. I feel that way often.
If you want me to give her a swift kick let me know. You don\'t need anymore stress. But there is always one in the crowd. I have run into them myself. Don\'t let her upset you. Take Care Love lucille

I\'ve crossed it everything I own for you. Hopefully the work situation resolves it\'s self, some people shouldn\'t be promoted. Your boss sounds like an earth angel and everyone needs one of those, you are blessed to have them. You take care and keep in touch. Love and hugs Cathy
