Running out of blog steam...

Not unexpected, but nonetheless a bit sad to realize that I haven't had time or energy to write for ten days. Too many emails, twitter, work blogs... and facebook and this blog have suffered as a result. It's been a tough two weeks, with things not quite going the way I had planned. At least the kids have been healthy for a full - whoop whoop - four days! I'm tired, it's weekend, and we are - helping out some friends with babysitting. Today a friend called that their baby was hospitalized and asked whether we could cover their other child. We were both at work, but my husband left early. I would have dropped everything as well if it would have been needed. Another couple we know are ill, so we will be helping with their child. Why? Because, as a parent, you know how essential such help is when times are tough. What are friends for? I will end with a song some of you know, so feel free to sing along: in good times, in bad times, i'll be on your side forever more....that's what friends are for....;) Karaoke time?
