yes--the intent of stating that CP could pick the kids up after school and so forth was to make sure it was clear that we would not be there. we live over 1000 miles away and a phone call saying CP forgot wouldn't do the kids any good once we leave town. i can definitely re-word it to sound a little nicer and less authoritative. at first i was like oh come on, but then i thought about what you said for a few and realize that if it could be taken the wrong way, CP would do it. *sigh* i better change it to avoid problems. thanks for the advice!! as always--you are all very helpful.
thanks to all those folks who are faithful givers on this board---it is truly appreciated!
