It's fine to be on the hamster wheel, running and running, trying to grab the brass ring or whatever you define as success, but your relationships, that's really all that matters when it's all said and done.

I feel like a human pinata. The disappointing thing is, no candy is going to spill out.

~I don't always have a lot of energy, but my kids almost always revitalize me. Of course like any working mom, sometimes I'm guilt-ridden. I think I should be sitting down doing an educational computer game with Carrie or taking Ellie to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These kids are such sponges, and I should be taking advantage of that.~

My daughters depend on me for a lot more than food, clothing and shelter. They depend on me as an example of how to go on.

I could announce one morning that the world was going to blow up in three hours and people would be calling in about my hair!

There's nothing like being in the moment, even when that moment isn't captured or shared.
