"God doesn't give children with special needs to strong people; He gives children with special needs to ordinary, weak people and then gives them strength. Raising a child with special needs doesn't take a special family, it makes a special family."--Author Unknown

Art department model...boy that conjures up interesting images ;)! Plus I don't think I've ever met a telephone operator before. You've got some interesting ones on there.

I feel your pain in the single parent department. Alan's been incapacitated for a week and a half now, so even when he is home, he's not much help. He's slowly getting back to more functionality, thank heavens. THough I must say that your kids are more creative with their mischief than mine are - must be the strength in numbers of boys.
