That photo says it all @castleberry. "Do you love your job?" So much so that it hurts sometimes. I understand. I did notice that you were AFK as we say. And you're usually not gone unless there is an unexpected occurrence. Children fill that void easily with whatever is going on currently in their own little world.

Your story reminded me of a time when my hubby "called himself" watching our youngest daughter. I came home one day to find her in the middle of my antique album collection. I almost fainted when I saw drool freely having it way with the 45s as she smeared it, then scratched the vinyl records. Hubby was asleep on the couch. The next day, I enrolled her in daycare. Three situations were saved that day...our marriage; my album collection; and my daughter's well being.

You're doing a fabulous job managing online and offline duties under overwhelming conditions sometimes. A break is needed ever so often.

Thanks for sharing. Our Profiles won't die without a few OCD visits. Take care and have a good start to your weekend.
