seems someone needs to put their priorities straight. and that person is me.
jocelyne informed me today that she misses home. while guilt washed over me for being at school and work for 12hrs today, i asked her why... she said. I miss my cat TOM. . . . Once home she cuddled this adopted stray like she hadnt seen him for years, then she promptly made him go outside to go potty.
Yet in those moments between her telling me and finding the root cause why i felt ashamed. Was I putting my kids last? was i really putting school and work first? How long has she missed home. I felt like a bad mother.
Now I am debating if I should drop one of my classes? or quit my job that i just started, (maybe something better will come along)... just so the kids dont feel so ignored. i dont want either of them to think of home as just where we keep pets, i want them to know its where they are loved, welcome, and will be safe.
