I think...

I think I still want it to be Spring break. Not that I really had the week off, but there was something nice about Ella not being in school and being able to relax a little. Plus, as a special treat to her, we left work at 3 PM on Thursday and Friday. I sooooo could leave work everyday at 3 PM, but don't get me started on that.

I think we have summer care lined up for Ella. What a chore!!! I hope it works out.

I think right now if I had to give a young career woman advice it would be to live off of only 75% of her money and then when she has kids, reduce her work time to 75% so that she can be home with her kids....if she decides that is what she wants to do. I enjoy my work a lot, but I would be at peace if I could take Ella to school, go to work, and then pick her up from school. I never imagined I'd be at such odds with this. I've always been career oriented and I think I still am, but when you see your child exhausted night after night, your perspective can change quickly.
