And no, I don't mean the Rush album. Wait, you mean you don't *have* that one?
:-)
I saw my oldest in a swim meet today. It's his first year on the team. When the race started (he's on the "exhibition team," which means "beginner so it doesn't really count"), I got confused. I saw this speedy, graceful, muscular Big Kid sliding through the water, and I said to Maggie: Is that really him?
It was.
So. Maggie is sick. She actually asked me to come home from work early today to take care of the kids. And she's a true Irish "work-through-the-pain" type. So you know she's hurting. And I did this. But my main employee is out sick (for the second day), and I've got all these open orders I really need to work on pronto. I feel like I'm torn between family needs and family funding, you know.
Then, fuck, we're closing on a refinance on the house tomorrow. We're rolling in our home equity line and getting a 1% reduction in the 30-year to 5.875%. I say "fuck" not only because I like to, on occasion, say "fuck," but because after stringing us along... they moved the closing to 3:30 in White Plains, NY. This bums me out because I'm running the Nike Run-Hit Wonder Race tomorrow, and if things get delayed, I'm going to miss it. This is my fourth race this year that counts towards the 2006 New York Marathon. My fifth is Sunday.
Anyway: work, family, self. Anybody know how to balance this stuff?

when you find the answer to how to get self to balance along with work and family, please share. My last marathon was 4 years ago when my wife was pregnant with my first. I need to insert some more 'self' time to start training again.
Good luck on your training and in the NY marathon!
BTW, P/G was a great album, eh?
Sometimes, you just gotta punt!
Peace...............
Rush rocks!
Sit down, have a nice stiff drink and remind yourself that tomorrow's another day.
