Joyce Stewart...

Joyce, I just wanted to let you know that I sent out your gift yesterday.  I'm so sorry it's late, but I've had a very sick little girl.  She spiked a fever of 106 & had to take her to the ER.  Needless to say, it's been really hard to get out of the house while giving her meds 4 times a day.  I know it seems like I'm irresponsible, but when it comes to something like this I have to make baby girl my priority & since you have kids yourself, I'm sure you get where I'm coming from.  Anyway, she's been feeling a little better so yesterday I did venture to the post office for a few minutes because I did feel really bad about being late...again.  Please forgive me & I hope you enjoy your gift. Secret Pal

I know you didn't ask my opinion...but ALWAYS put your family first.  I doubt there is anyone on this board that would berate you for that.  I'm glad she's feeling better!!

 Hi Secret Pal,                    What kind of person would I be if I couldn't understand that our kids/family comes first ! ? !  I totally understand and it's not a big deal - ok  - stop beating yourself up over it. I'm a big girl and will be overjoyed no matter what it is or when it arrives -  hey I'm lucky to have a pal that cares !  I will get online as soon as it arrives to let you know . Take care of yourself as well as your little one (s).
