Stop in for a cup of coffee

very good points. I think I'll hedge my bets. do the OT, while also putting in applications like crazy.

I'm sure you'll work it out...maybe some creative ways to get family moments and give kids some fun, they won't care what time it is and when you see their smiles it won't matter how tired you are. Number one you have to protect their food and shelter. Ask your wife to be understanding and keep her spirits up and not let stress overwhelm the holiday. Count your blessings.
