I'm finding helping J buy presents for people maddening, as you will learn when you get back to reading blogs.<br /><br />I hope things calm down for you soon and as others have said, you can't do it all. Do what you find most rewarding or meaningful. (Not that I always manage to follow this advice myself, but it sounds wise, doesn't it?) Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and yours!StephLovehttp://www.allfortheloveofyou.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407121007536351162.post-72541422750135626982009-12-19T16:49:31.586-05:002009-12-19T16:49:31.586-05:00I love what you're doing for Grasshopper.

He's going to look back in 25 years and his heart is going to burst when he realizes all you've done for him.<br /><br />Remember, we don't have to be super human. Do what you can. Do what you WANT.

Skip the teacher gifts or just go with a gift card! Get the cookies at Publix or ask me to do it! YOU do not have to do it all! -- I. HellerI.
