Sorry to hear about your brother Dave.
Cyndy sounds like you, and my wife have the same problem. Not enough hours in the day. I keep telling her she packs too many things/projects into the day and she needs to spread out whatever she has to do. She/You cant do everything. I think you also need to learn to say No. When my kids were younger, My wife and I had no help from our patients, When I say no help, I mean NO HELP at all. We had to work different shifts, the kids went to daycare, we paid alot, and then finally they were old enough for school. Later in life, It always pissed me off when I would hear young moms at work say...... my parents or in-laws will watch the kids so I can go here or there, or to the gym. Its kind of like..... give all the kids trophies, we dont want to hurt they feeling, their all winners. Well life is tough, and people need to make tough choices, you cant keep taking care/supporting of your kids, their big boys and girls now.

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Lots of grandparents raising kids too, when their own kids have kids, then can't deal with it. Seen a few of those. It's a rough one.
People who lived beside us before, she was an airline stewardess, he worked shifts. Her parents did all the day care. We'll help out if it comes to that, but not that much.
