never mind...

The difference between Father's Day and Mother's Day... on Mother's Day, I slept late after a party the night before, skipped church and then took [profile] patgreene out with the kids. On Father's Day, I'm up early getting the kids breakfast and dressed and cleaning the kitchen while Pat sleeps in... the kids don't even know what today is. Still, I need to be balanced, not seeking appreciation or external validation. I don't need anyone. Time to reload the dishwasher... I can't get in the shower because James came home from his sleepover and grabbed it first.

I suppose that's better than just leaving... but it still feels wrong.

Children don't learn about special days unless we teach them that they are special. *hugs*
