Somehow Anna made it through the weekend’s blur of activities and commitments without having any more emotional breakdowns. Perhaps being busy was the best defense against the blues. Oh, sure, she’d been somewhat overcome while watching her class of second graders performing their rendition of “Little Drummer Boy” for the Christmas concert—for which Beth was on time and was wearing an adorable red velvet dress. But then, Anna always got a little weepy at that particular event. And she’d been so happy that all their baskets sold at the bazaar—bringing in more than $500 for the Darfur fund—that she’d been a little teary-eyed for that too. But then so had Nicole and Meredith. Or maybe they were still feeling bad about the other night.

But by Monday, after all the busyness of the weekend, Anna realized that she really hadn’t had much quality time with Michael. And this was driven home further when he announced that, once again, he would be working late tonight.

“I miss you,” she complained as he filled his travel mug with coffee.

“I miss you too,” he said. “But trust me, this overtime thing is not going to last forever.”

“Maybe ‘forever’ is in the eyes of the beholder,” she told him.

He laughed, then leaned down to peck her on the cheek. Still, she hadn’t meant to be funny. More and more she was realizing that time—each precious, one-of-a-kind day—was not a renewable resource.
