She is also very frugal and has a substantial mortgage. She had an aha! moment and gave herself permission to have someone else mow her lawns, realising that she really doesn't have to do it all.<br />Would it make you feel better about your mouse problem if I tell you that we have a rat problem? So far it has ignored the tasty treats in the industrial size rat trap we set, and ignored the poison baits, too.<br />This is all new to you, but you will get there.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-24838508863779038712009-08-04T20:42:07.253-04:002009-08-04T20:42:07.253-04:00I'm confessing I am not confessing today.

I wonder if that's an even lonelier feeling. Silly to compare lonelinesses, of course, like it's an inane competition--one that no one wants to win!<br /><br />The wisest course of action, if we can manage it, is to surround ourselves with as big a support net as possible.
