Can you remember dad ever taking a day off? And even when he is home on the weekends does he ever sit down? Mom is just as hard working, if not for her family then she is plannin/catering a wedding. Remember how quickly grandmother went down hill once she hurt her knee and could no longer work in the garden? And I must admit that I am also affected. For the last 9 years or so, I have yet to turn in less than and average of 80-90 hours a week, except for the few times I take vacation or have surgery. It is an illness and it is in your genes - embrace it. Many Type-A personalities are work-a-holics and cannot see any other way to live life. Work is good. "Idle hands are the devil's workshop". The trick is to find balance and this is not always easy. Work hard and play hard. Spend QUALITY time with the family. What kids remember most about their parents is not necessarily the amount of time they were together but the quality of the time they had together.. "remember when we went to the Grand Canyon... or we went to the Father-Son Campout..." BTW, why all the sudden are you worried about "family time"....?

It's the luck of the draw. You have good jobs and then you not so good ones. If you reflect back you will notice that as your pay increased your time at work increased...unless you luck up and don't expect that to last forever...it never does. The objective is have others work for you and you collect the overall benefit...I believe they call this being a Pimp...of which I am in practice. Thank the all mighty Unions for the 40 hour work week...unfortunately we did benefit from them some. How can you listen to Roz? She's just a sickly woman for the love of God...and doesn't even know what Okra looks like...;) I would avoid real estate at this present juncture.
