Hi Amanda,

Scared is okay, you know. Just don't let it drive you to obsess about it. You probably will have set-backs. You probably will get angry at your husband and/or your kids

... who knows, they may even deserve it once in a while ;^).

But don't grasp so hard for control that you lose it. Don't let it turn into a feedback loop that'll keep you spinning ... like Cam said, whatever it takes from counting to ten or, my personal favorite, repeating over and over to yourself the phrase "I, Amanda S----, have a Cheerful and Sunny Disposition" until you mean it (otherwise known as the Blow Sunshine Up Your Butt technique, which I, myself, have perfected).

Well, except that I don't say the "Amanda S----" part since that isn't my name.

Go have fun in Mexico, and catch a good tan for me -- half Celtic, half Slavic ... all I do is fry.

cheers,
bob
