    Hi, Karyn! Did I already welcome you to Sub Moms and tell you other ALEXANDRIA moms' names? I don't see my post here, but your info is all familiar to me... my chronic case of "brain mush" is acting up again!

    Anyway, Janice and Kathy are other ALEX. moms; if you need help finding them, let me know. Otherwise, forgive my daffy-ness! Hugs, k.
