You're right. I suppose I needed the rest and downtime though too so this was my plan. Just realize how lonely. I don't look at it so much as kid duty as I love being with them. They are not work at all. My whole sitch is so screwed up. I read yours. You had a bomb drop at Christmas and that makes this time of year tough no doubt. Chrsitmas and New Years were always our best times and it makes it tough too so I guess there is no good time.
