We all need to come on here and vent, and nobody's life is perfect. If you can take even one piece of advice that was given to you yesterday than hopefully someone helped even just a little bit!
Good luck and enjoy your trip!
Some things are easier to do than others - most of the time when I ask for advice it's very helpful, and sometimes when I don't ask, it's not!
but maybe it helped someone else, asking or not - so I'm sure the universe worked it ALL out for us!!!
You've been around these boards long enough to know that even if you don't come out and ask for advice people will give it. Especially since you didn't specifically say "Please give me hugs only"
You are right, no one has lived a day in your shoes so we only know what you tell us, which is definately enough for the girls to base their advice off of. I can guarantee that every one on that thread only had your best interest in mind since you seemed so stressed out.
Glad you feel better about your situation today though. I always get stressed out and then it passes a few moments later. It always helps to put it out there.
