Having been single for the best part of two years, I was unpleasantly surprised this morning to be reintroduced to a feeling I'd totally forgotten about, and surely one of the top five worst feelings in the world* - that of having to leave your loved one in bed in order to get up and get ready for work. So of course that made me all 
, and when I realised later that I'd been all instead of 
it made me even more , and so on.
Ah well, soon be Friday... 
*I'm sure I don't need to encourage you to speculate on the other four in a High Fidelity kind of way.

Now, you see. What you do is make a lot of noise getting up and then she has to get up too and wave you goodbye.

It's not really the "going to work" part that's the problem - it's the "getting out of bed" part.

Offspring #1 "Wasn't me" 
Offspring #2 "Well it wasn't me!" 
Me:"Oh I suppose a big boy did it and ran away, then!"
Offsprings in unison "Yes!"
