Another Day

I have to say thank you for the comments on my last post. I wasn't really looking for anything other than an oppportunity to vent, but you all came through in a huge way. I am so thankful for the wonderful people I have in my life, and though our families may be too far away to really be a support system on a daily basis, I have amazing friends who are always willing to step in and help. When I actually let them, that is. ;) I have offers of help almost weekly, and while I sit and think how nice it would be to send my kids to a friend's house or have someone come over and sit with them while I get out, I find it very hard to actually do it. Truth be told, I love being at home and I love being with my family, and I am so afraid of missing out on something that might happen for the first time, that I find it extremely hard to be away. But I am working on it. I did get out this weekend and actually left both kids for almost 2 hours (I said I'm working on it) with my friend Melissa. They did great, and knowing that Scarlett made it that long without needing to nurse was really encouraging. I do have plans to get out again soon, but for now, this is what will get me through another day.
