I digress!

I love and hate when my husband works OT. As of late his OT has been far and few between. Heck, we have been lucky to even get 30+ hrs in. I just miss him when he is not home even though when he is here he adds to my work load!

The boys were happy tonight. We played 2 games of Uno before going to bed!
