Working too much

I know we all do it, and some of us even feel like we do it, even when we are not. But, life gets busy, we try to wrap all the things we usually do into this bubble life and still try to have a little adventure. There are days we are so physically and emotionally tired, that we can hardly move, let alone be a good companion. When you get home after fourteen or fifteen hours of work, and see the kids have missed you, you are not going to get ready for bed, you are going to get them dinner, make sure they have their homework done and there isn't anything they want to talk about, and with kids, you don't just ask them that, you have to get them relaxed ask them how their day went help them put their clothes away, and then after maybe a few hours when you are tucking them into bed telling them you will see them after they are home from school they might mention something, and you might spend an hour talking about it, and every single minute of tired feet dragging the next day was worth it. These are some of the wonderful things that we get to do when you are around kids, too tired to talk, but listening is all you need to do.
