congrats J
Amy - good luck with the orientation and first day of day care this week
Nicole - thinking of you tomorrow - hope you get some news on the results sooner rather than later (and that its better news than you fear it will be!)

E is having an ok day today - hoping she keeps it up tomorrow. 2.5hour trip to the funeral, leaving when she'd normally still be sleeping, possibly overwhelmed by a lot of extended family that have yet to meet her... and DH still doesn't know if he's working or not so no idea if i'm going just with my folks or whether he is coming too. my cousin was absolutely adamant that he doesnt' want people taking time off work to say goodbye (they'd tried for sat funeral but couldn't) so i won't allow DH to miss work. just need to know if it's going to rain more and rain him off - or clear up. sigh - i just don't know! not coping real well with it - i need him there for me, but i understand that he needs to work while work is available
