Thanks for the responses. The "deep breaths" one had me giggling because just 2 hours ago I received a nasty e-mail from EX-ABF and then my computer started acting weird. Without thinking I said out loud "I can't take this, I just want to cry!". My seven year old son (who has a tendency to be less than compassionate) walked over and said "Deep breaths, mom, deep breaths." It worked like a charm and my son and I had a really great time snuggling and discussing the current situation. Thank God for resilient children and the opportunity to do better by them tomorrow!
