My wife has been on a business trip since Monday. Not that this is unique-she takes one every other month or so.  And as much as I love my kids, I'm finding it more difficult to watch them. Actually they're good kids. They just get  snarky with each other. This time I've left them alone for a while before my father showed up. (Don't worry, they are above 10 yrs old). They responded great! They are gettingg along, cooperating, etc. I guess after all these yyears, my parenting skills aren't so bad. 

Received a gift card for SD. I would like suggestions about the best buys. I like the boot socks, dreamies and wool socks. Also do people think otk's are too feminine for guys?
