[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 368461, member: 4264"] My response would be: Hi mom. Thanks for your email. It seems that things have been crazy hectic for you between the trim around the thermostat, having to call for someone to fix your garage door, and having to wait for a computer repair. We're glad that you finally managed to find time to drop us a line. It's always nice to hear from you when you have a few spare moments. We definitely relate to being busy on our end. Between trying to find a new job in this economic meltdown amongst so many people going through the same thing, and delaying the loss of my home I have loved and paid so much into over the years, and trying to find a new place that is suitable for difficult child, and selling off all our stuff to afford the move, and worrying about where to send the dogs if I can't find a landlord willing to let me keep them and .... (insert more stuff until you are done). Well, between all that activity, I'm worried we might have seen negligent in staying in touch with you lately. It was kind of nice to get your message and to be able to realize that you too have been swamped with so much on your plate so probably haven't had the time to notice we've been busy too. I do hope you don't have to worry about calling any more repair men etc. I imagine the stress must be high with all your stuff breaking down. I will certainly pass along to difficult child that you hope to see him soon. I hadn't realized until now that its been more than 2 years since you two had a visit. We'll have to hope that another 2 years don't pass. That would be a crying shame. We may be out of touch for a while as we're going through some pretty big transitions right now, as you know. So much is up in the air. About the only certainty that difficult child and I have right now is that we have each others backs, we're in this together and are there for each other as we try to rebuild an entirely new life from the ashes of our old ones. If only I'd lost it all (job, home, life as I know it) from my own doing, instead of this wretched economic depression. Then I could kick myself instead of just being one of the millions that are struggling to survive. Given that we've got alot to get done and sorted, we may be in touch only sporatically for the coming months. Rest assured you're in our thoughts and we truly hope to be kept in touch about your welfare as well. I do hope you get all that trim painting finished. Nothing worse than trim that sticks out or isn't completed! Speak to you when we have a chance mom. Thank you for taking time to get in touch. We appreciated your little message and your expressions of concerns for our well being. xo Klmo [/QUOTE]
