A sad commentary on modern families.

Currently I am working at my computer. Yes, I am actually doing work but am on a momentary break. My Husband is murdering and killing things on his Xbox. My 4 year old is upstairs watching cartoons. My 13 year old is watching a movie in another room. Now this isn't really the norm around here but it does occur from time to time. How sad. I think we are a realistic snapshot of many, many families these days. Luckily for us I work from home and am at least present (in body, anyway). Which is good considering the number of hours I work a day. They'd never see me otherwise. Of course if I worked out of the house I suppose work would begin and end around the same time every day and I would get weekends off and paid holidays. It's wonderful when technology can allow you to work from home and pathetic when you yearn for the good old days of working in an office and seeing other adults everyday. And no, hubby doesn't count. He's just a third kid.
