And as an aside we, your loyal readers :), rarely hear what Rob is doing to help which leads to comments like those seen above. You're right, and I should acknowledge that more. Like yesterday, he stayed up all night troubleshooting the printer so that Fiona could print her paper for school. He is doing all the dojo cleaning right now, and he is doing some of the girls' karate runs so I can fix dinner before taking my karate classes. He's been there, too, on the painting project.

I fume about the job situation because it's such a big deal, but it's not as if he isn't doing anything. And I'll be sure to give him credit for it.
