Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know what, I just might sign up to be my neighbor's ' school transport a couple days a week. Not just emergency. Because clearly, they've got an unreliable transporter for these days, I could just incorporate it into my schedule. Gotta think on it.For now I've been about exchanging kids helping with leaves and cats, but if it were regular, might have a more concrete exchange. Money or services.
