MY HUSBAND , MARK (MK), 1ST & FOREMOST. HE SHOWERS, DRESSES, POTTIES, FEEDS, & SLEEPS W/ME (I MAY NEED HIS ASSISSTANCE TURNING IN THE NIGHT, THOUGH IT IS RARELY NEEDED NOW). HE ALSO HELPS ME W/THE LESS OBVIOUS, LIKE SHAVING, CLEANING OUT MY EARS, BRUSHING MY TEETH, ETC. THINK OF HOW A MOTHER HELPS HER BABY…

ON THE OCCASSIONS WHEN MK WORKS, LEAVES TOWN, OR TAKES THE KIDS SOMEWHERE W/O ME (SAY, THE WATERPARK), MY “HELPER”/CAREGIVER/PERSONAL ASSTISSTANT (CURRENTLY ANGIE) HELPS ME., MY KIDS DO A LOT — SOPHIE HAS THE HONARARY NICKNAME OF “ANGIE #2”! I ALSO HAVE MY PARENTS, 5 OF THE 6 OF MY SIBLINGS, & A NETWORK OF FRIENDS CLOSE-BY, WHO I CAN ASK 4 HELP — AS WELL AS OTHER EXTENDED FAMILY (WHO ARE FARTHER, BUT JUST AS WILLING 2 HELP OUT),
