This, and same to you!

 I enjoyed the article.  It is good to remember that happiness is found at home and with family and friends, no matter how good or bad work is going.

Unfortunately, I need more money in order to be able to spend more time at home with my baby, and also to visit family more often.  It's a catch-22. 

 

ETA:  Love the new siggy!  She looks so grown up.  Beautiful!!

i hope i didnt offend you with my comment. i didnt post the article as a commentary on staying at home or working. i posted more as a reminder of what's important in life- it's not cars, fancy clothes, or eating out at nice restaurants. it's about building strong relationships and spending time with people we love.
