― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
A very dear
friend of mine recently spent the weekend caring for another friend's
children. My friend has children of her
own, but her friend needed to go out of town on an important family matter and
so my friend stepped in, the way she typically does and did what had to be
done. She juggled her children's weekend
activities with the responsibility of watching additional children and made
sure everyone not only was taken care of, but also had a good time. This included having her husband watch the
friend's children while she hosted a small party for one of own children and a
dozen friends, and then rushing at midnight to the friend's house to spend the
night with the other children. My friend
did all this with her characteristic good humor and boundless energy.
