LullaWHAT?!

July 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Lately Tadd has been my saving grace by getting up early with the twins, feeding them and putting them back to bed before he goes to work. I feel horribly selfish as I hear him get up and get all the stuff ready but I cant…. fight….. the……urge….to go back to sleep.
