Thanks Julie -- Actually I feel like crap.....my husband has been sick all week despite antibiotics, etc. Stuffy head, hurt all over, etc although we both had the flu shot in October.

Other than being sick, my best friend being gone just today seems like forever. We did talk on the phone but it just isn't the same. We just recently started a business together and we both homeschool our kids (who are best friends), so we were always talking or seeing each other.

She has my baby too (actually her 2 year old daughter) but I feel like she is mine too I know her other two (12 & 9) will remember me - I have known them 10 years but I worry about my baby. She just started talking so much and I miss her terribly. I kept telling her to tell her mom that she wasn't going to Chicago and she would say "I not goin' to cago, I stay with Angie". Her mom said to tell me to "keep the dream alive" - well that didn't happen she is gone :0(

Oh well, enough of my pity party - friend and baby gone and now sick......but I will be more than ok.

Thanks again,
