Man, it's been crazy this week! I've been working my butt off to get an inventory of candles made up, because I'm going to be out at the local Farmer's Market in two weeks! That will be less than a week after we get back from our trip to MN (we leave Friday morning). So I'm swamped. But I'm looking forward to a change of pace around here, even if it is just to go home. :P Sorry, I'm not a big fan of small-town MN, where I manage to bump into someone I know (and who knows the crap I pulled in high school, and doesn't seem to realize that was a decade ago!) every time I step foot out the door. argh!

Rhiannon's actually been really great lately. I have also made sure *I* sat down and had a major attitude adjustment as well, and I haven't been getting upset when she does a freak-out. I think she likes the reactions, and enjoys making me mad. This new friend I've made recently totally has her pegged already - we were working on the site for the candles here on my computer the other day, and she said "someone's looking for trouble", and I turned around and Rhia had her naughty face on. Sure enough, she started trying to instigate some trouble. I just mentioned that since she was in here throwing things and shrieking that she must not be interested in her movie anymore, and she stopped everything and turned around and left. If she's not upset, then why should I be?

I also wanted to thank everyone who has posted or called me with support!! It helps so much to get different perspectives on everything - sometimes it feels like I'm the only one dealing with this, so it's nice to get a wake-up call.

Blessings! I'll try to post again before we leave...
