I think that is my hang up, I wonder if they really are being cared for. When my husband says, "Why don't I have any black socks?" or Fuller is asking for a snack for the third time while I nurse the baby (and really I could have gotten it for him after the second request, I just blanked and forgot), well I start to wonder. I'm happy to let things slide, but when I look around at the mess of boxes and paper, I wonder if us living in a mess like this is really me caring for my family. I would be happy to play. Fuller and Tebow too! We will get together soon, I know it.
