It is always nict to see a fresh new face and to see that we are not alone in our travels. It seems that the group is growing and I am so glad you have decided to join. BTW-- Jennifer I am also in California and about an hour and a half south of Elk Grove.
first let me say i am sorry i have not replied until now, I have been sick. Anyway thanks for the invite, i am always looking for outside ideas new fresh ways of dealing with my kids. I have 3 that are mine and 1 step daughter who is 12 and boy entering the teen years is starting to freak me out.
I am sorry to hear that you have been sick, boy do I hate being sick. Don't worry about the teen years as a wise woman has said "this too shall pass." The benefits far out weigh the costs. I have lived through the teen years and everyone is still here and doing well, so if I can do it anyone can do it.
