I don't necessarily like that too much, but I, I don't have a lot of help. You know, my mom lives with us seasonally and I don't expect her to help me all the time. And then there's when she's gone months at a time. So I literally have no babysitter, nothing. But I have been in the process of, you know, looking for some extra help, you know, either, you know, like a mommy helper type thing or just somebody to help me on the social media side of things. Yeah, because it's gotten to the point where you're like, okay, um, yeah, it's a little too much and it can be stressful. Um, there's a lot that goes behind it, but at the same time, I think about it 3 years ago, like, it was just me, and now I'm thinking about hiring help, and it's like, what a freaking blessing, you know, like, to be able to bring somebody in with you. And that's something that I prayed for, you know, like have somebody with me and give somebody else the opportunity, or them give me the opportunity to work together. You know, I think that's, that's pretty, pretty cool.
