so soooo very happy to hear Angela!!!!!! you deserve the wonderful news in both ways, the kids that get to have this amazing opportunity, and you getting some well deserved rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so so glad I stopped to read! (i have to confess i couldn't remember what respite meant so thought i come see if i could work it out !)
What a wonderful opportunity for your children! Enjoy (and don't fret too much) your free time when they are away. And it sounds like they will be in good hands.
