"So long as we insist upon defining our identities only in terms of our work, so long as we try to blind ourselves to the needs of our children and harden our hearts against them, we will continue to feel torn, dissatisfied, and exhausted.... The guilt we feel for neglecting our children is a byproduct of our love for them. It keeps us from straying too far from them, for too long. Their cry should be more compelling than the call from the office."

- Danielle Crittenden, What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us

I got your message! I think I figured it out and added you as a friend so you don't have to cry. :) I saw you were online so I tried to figure out how to instant message you. You can do that on facebook, but I guess you can't on here. So this message will have to do! Had a great time yesterday and look forward to doing it again. Jaime
