Oh, sweetie. Stress overload!!!! I'm so sorry everything around you is so nuts. No wonder your stomach's in a knot!!! As for Shane's B-Day, do you think he'd be happy with a romantic home cooked meal and a glass of wine with a rented movie? I know my hubby has no real need for me to go out and buy him things - I do stuff like that all the time. As for your Grandma - call in the family, dammit!!! You should NOT be the only one dealing with all this! Hugs, sweetheart! I wish I could help you. Hang in there! PS - Christmas tip - I have to do a premeditated Christmas now - I have no time and no hands to carry bags with 2 kids. I make a list of everyone I have to buy for and figure out what I'm going to buy. I buy from Chapters.ca, Sears.com, and have as much of it delivered as I can. Then, I power shop. Go to the mall with THE LIST and just buy it.
