The Need for Attention

Things have been quite calm.  As long as the kids are at school, and I must say it has only been 2 weeks! I got a little job this weekend to help pay some bills, you know another mouth to feed.  Weird how when I am home, she stays in her room a lot of the day.  But when I am gone, she sit out in the kitchen to make sure she sees everything the girls are doing.  That is not much because they are afraid to come into the light with her, never knowing what the will find. So the next day when I worked B stayed home so she would have someone to be with.  Really it was more for the girls, so they could move around and be teens.  Well, she stayed in her room until I returned home.  I would think she would want to hang out with her only child but I guess he was not offering to take her to the casino. All of a sudden the loudest crash I have heard since, V pulled the dresser over on herself with the tv on top. Well, can you believe it when I ran in the room. There was my "Toddler" laying on her back on the floor with the dresser on top of her.  I hope she was not crawling up to find the jelly beans like V did! B comes running in and gets the dresser off her, we tried to call the aid car, but she was fine.  Boy were we going to pay for that one for a long while.  You can name a body part and it hurts, she needs help, "I hope that you will find it in your heart to make me breakfast and lunch tomorrow!" Of coarse, and I decide it is time for me to go to bed.
The next morning, she does not come out of her room, she does not take her meds on time, and there is all hell to pay at dinner. The girls have only joined us a handful of times at the table, and tonight was no different.  She would like to know why no one cares how she is feeling.  Her family is a caring family that care about and asks about each other.  Wow, the "toddler" knows that there are others in this world? I can't believe it, but it is all about her not getting enough attention when falling.
