Octopus

At times like this I wish you were around to help me.

I know you have to care for your niece. But when come crunch time, I wish you could just lend me a helping hand.

I need to find boxes, pack books, run meetings and goodness knows what else.

I feel frayed and stretched to the point where if I were silly putty I would be almost translucent.

I wish I were an Octopus with eight brains.
