And Jeanna I feel for you. You would be feeling pulled in 2 directions at the moment. If your anything like I was when I was working I was useless. My thoughts were with Steve and I felt pulled in 2. Luckily I work for a very good company who gave me a 6 month career break with an option for a further 6 months if needed. No pay but I have my job to go back to when the time comes. Helps to know there's some security in our future.
