Getting to Know You

Sometimes I forget to listen to them.

Often, I forget to look at them when they speak to me.

I'm constantly nodding my head or saying yes, or more often no, and not thinking about why I'm answering that way or what the question even was.

Work, sickness, and life in general have led to too many hectic days around here, and I feel like I've lost touch with them.  

That's why during this spring break that we are spending at home, I am resolving to get to know these children of mine better.
