Can I just comfort you by saying this? I did the most obnoxious happy-dance known to mankind the day my kids started school this week. I felt like a totally bad mother for being so ecstatic about them being gone for a few hours a day, but I have the same thing you described. I could sit at the kitchen table for hours, drinking coffee and looking bored. Children ignore me. The second I grab a piece of paper to write on, or get on the computer . . . I am their new best friend and they will explode if I don't sit in rapt attention as they describe their last bowel movement or the three hour conversation they just had with their dweeby friend who I can't stand in the first place. Let's do a primal scream together! AAARRRGGHHHH! There, do we feel better now? *hugs*
