and I think, “Things are winding down…” someone hands me something to look at or fix or do. What’s up with that? I’ve even noticed that when Max has an issue with a toy or something, he brings it to me. So I’m toy support now?

I don’t mind (most of the time), I just wish that I could get a few more hours for maybe one or two weeks a year. Although if I had them, I’d wish for more, because that’s the way things go sometimes.

Despite all of this running around (or maybe because of it), I got to help some people this year. I was really ecstatic because every time things did not work out (or did not work out as I thought they should have) I thought to myself, at least I put something positive into somebody’s life.
