Christmas Day 2007I had planned to stay here in Denver through the weekend, working a few hours each day and spending a few hours a day playing long-lost sister/daughter/aunt/friend. I’m failing miserably. When I’m working, I feel guilty about not being with my family. When I’m with the family, I worry about not getting work done.

Lesson learned: I’m not the type of person who can find a daily balance of work and family. But I’m the type of person who can figure out a solution to satisfy both. Mission accomplished: I changed my flight. Now, if the weather holds, I’m leaving early Thursday morning. That way I can play with the family members all day today (we’ve got shopping to do and gift cards to spend), and I can be home before noon on Thursday to hit the computer.
