There's no real point to this post, just a ramble, I guess. This morning Tony got called into overtime. Usually no big deal when he gets called into OT, but he was already home and with Leila. She's only two and doesn't understand why daddy has to leave. She kept crying "don't go, Daddy, don't go. I want Daddy, not Mommy." : ( Totally broke my heart, and I'm sure his. Tony left and Leila was still sad, still not wanting to hang out with just me. (Which sucked because she was perfectly happy to be with Mama before Tony got called.) After about ten minutes she started getting mean, not just sad. She said "I'm mad at Mama. I want my Daddy." and had on a total stink face. After about five full minutes (no exageration) of hearing how she didn't want to be with me, and was mad at me I snapped and yelled "Too bad, kiddo it's just you and me today." in a tone that I don't like to use.
She gave me the nastiest look, and sat on her little chair with a book. She pretended to read but kept looking at me with the evil eye. I apologized. She still gave me dirty looks. After a few minutes Leila came over and said she loves me. That helped. Still, though, I hate snapping and I feel like crap.
Ramble over.
