Perspective

Every once in a while as a parent you need a rough 14 hour day at work to remind you of how awesome it is to just simply be home in your own chaos.  After dealing with the frustrations of spreadsheets, answering "why?" 700 times for Amelia was a privilege. After fighting a tight deadline all night, taking Sophie out in a drizzling rain was refreshing. After continuing to battle a disastrous computer virus all day, missing a little sleep tonight when Amelia wakes up won't be a big deal. I love my kids to death and enjoy every day with them .But, sitting at the office and not getting to see them for an entire day and night really reminds you that "absence makes the heart grow fonder" could not be more true.
