Heartbreaking

Most Saturdays after I pick up the kids from thier mother's, we go do something together, be it see a movie or go to the park or some other activity that's going on around town. Sometimes this includes seasonal activities that are only going on for a limited time.

Tonight I had planned to take the kids to the Orr Family Farm for their "Jingle Farm" (a term from NewsOK) where the kids could enjoy "a mile long train ride to see the scenes and lights, visit the animal barn, ride the carousel, and receive a free tree ornament". However, the kids were in a lot of trouble at their mom's today, and I had told them that if they weren't good at their mother's, we wouldn't continue with our Saturday activity. So instead, we went home after a quick visit to the store, as I am not one to go back on what I tell them.

Both kids were pouty and sad the whole way home. And to make matters worse, while going over some school work of Darby's after we got home, there was a question, "How do you spend your Saturday's?" to which she had written, "I like to spend time doing things with my father."


Yeah, that made me feel great. Just great.
