eat. I finish eating and Husband helps me do the
dishes. I give the kids some snacks and they
watch Minions and Q helps me cook, I was
making Soup with some meat. He helped me cut
the vegetables to add in my soup. We spoke so
much, the conversation always flowed, we only
stayed silent when we were away from each
other or we were mad at each other, which is like
for 4 minutes because we never let such stuff
come between us.
