I've been really busy with school this fall and haven't had as much time for my girls. They're used to me always being around because I worked from home and stayed home every day with them. When I started school this fall they started going to MeMe's, Grandma's, and Lena's house. Aside from Claudia's fits when I leave in the morning, there was no sign that they really noticed a difference, and it began to hurt my heart a bit that I was so replaceable.
Fast forward to the end of the semester, and all of a sudden I'm at home all day every day. The girls have gotten *very* possessive of me to the point where they won't so much as say "hey" to MeMe or Lena in Walmart. Sometimes they don't even want Grandma, and that's saying something. I asked Nadine why they didn't want to talk to them, and Nadine said, "I want to stay with you today, Mommy." Aw now, that felt good. Sorry for the family members they shunned, but I needed it. Mommy is wanted and maybe even a little missed. Selfish, I know, but I'm going to school so they can have a better life.
Nadine's into painting and anything crafty, so we've spent most of the days making crafts that Nadine wants to show off to Daddy when he comes in. I had to give the kitten a bath because there was purple watercolor paint in her fur, but we're having too much fun. I go back to school January 7th and I'm dreading it in a way.
