They really know how to get you where it hurts
When Rex is around, the kids show me about as much attention as they would dirty dishes, which is to say, none. I was sort of on top of the world yesterday when Katie actually cried when I left to go out. I mean, I felt bad that she was crying, but I was glad to see that she noticed that I wasn't going to be there.
Tonight, Rex and I were sitting on the couch, each with a laptop on our laps, getting some work done. The kids were great for a while, but eventually demanded more attention than we could give and still get anything done. Katie brought a book over, and Rex promised to read it "in just a minute." Naturally, the delay in such a life-altering event deserved copious tears. I tried to offer to read to her instead, but that sent her into a new flurry of tears.
Back to chopped liver I am.
