I feel like sh-t

Wow, it's been a year since I've posted here.

The only reason I'm doing it now is because it's 4:21 in the morning and I can't sleep. I can't sleep because I can't stop thinking about something that happened at my daughter's birthday party today.

My wife and I were at a park with a few of my five (soon to be six) year old's friends and cousins. Suddenly, one of the girls that was there with us came over from the playground, crying. She had fallen off the merry-go-round, and she was in bad shape. Turns out, she broke her collarbone. As if that's not bad enough, her parents had a trip planned to Disneyworld. Now they can't go.

I didn't see what happened. One of the other kids said that someone was pushing really fast, and the little girl fell off. To me, it doesn't really matter what happened - she got hurt on my watch, and I'm sick about it.

Crap. Writing about it didn't help. I guess I'll try to get some sleep.
