Just what I needed...

I can't spill that line as good as Benjamin Orr can, no one could, but Zo is typically, "just what I needed," and usually exactly when I need it. Coming home each day to this funster usually helps me get through tough days...like today. It looks like I'll be laid off for the summer for sure, just as we've bought a house, with no guarantees for September, from either the YMCA or the school board. Of course, I will hopefully be interviewing for my own job in the next week or two, and I'd like to think that I'm the best person for the job, but my head tells me to worry, even if my heart tells me not to sweat it. So I came home upset just as Zo woke up. I scored a huge hug and an, "I love you Daddy. Don't be upset because I love you." The kisses and smiles were excessive but felt good, and if I can somehow balance this frightening ledger in my life I'll feel oh so lucky to spend an entire summer with this sweet little, comforting, caring girl.

I really can't believe that I somehow worked The Cars into this post. I'm not sure if there's been a Cars reference on this blog before? If not, there certainly is now. Funny, 'cause Just What I Needed, isn't even The Cars best song. This is.
