[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 291196, member: 4264"] Witz, it is feeling that way. We're coping but its getting harder the longer this goes on. We are pretty jumpy to be honest. But we've avoided talking about this much past few days and it helps. We're back to normal sleep schedule. But we have cabin fever for sure. We've taken to taking a taxi to the mall to just roam around. We've done the same to go out for dinner at a restaurant. We went to a midnight movie with difficult child mid week (before we resumed natural sleep schedule). All to just get out of the house for a bit. On a true positive, my wonderful easy child is home. I went to the mall and picked up some dvd's earlier today and treated easy child and I to matching pj's. We had a huge turkey dinner and are already in our pj's and planning a late night movie marathon. She had a lovely time away from all of this drama. They toured the east coast, throughout New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. She loved Cape Breton. She went to the Alexander Graham Bell museum, Peggys Cove, toured Halifax and the Citadel. She swam in the ocean. She went on a fishing boat to whale watch and saw tons of whales and dolphins and seals.
