kia,
i'm doing the poor-me dance too........
it doesn't do anybody any good especially the kids!
for me, when i get to wallowing in self pitty, i find it productive to do something, anything, for the kids.....heck, this morning i'm cooking a pan of brownies before work because i know later today my heart will be warmed by smiles and a choclate covered face.
