- I bet they already ate dinner without me. Oh no! I might not make it before they leave for Keagan's football practice. Why didn't I start my commute sooner?!
- I am sorry, Keagan. I was just finishing up a few things at work.
- Mom, you missed most of my practice!
- Later that night...
- Keagan: Mom, can you help me with my homework?Me: Ask your dad. I just need to finish up some emails and pack for a work trip.Keagan: Another trip?!
- Ryan: You are running yourself into the ground with work and you are not happy at home.Me: I am just doing the best I can.Ryan: For the company or for us?
- I need to get healthy and show up for my family. I need a break to find who I really am without work!
- That night Kelly poured a glass of wine, typed her letter of resignation, and thought to herself, "Now what?"
- Now that I am eating healthy, walking everyday, and spending time with my family, I need to set some goals for myself. I am going to apply to a Master's program and run a 5k. How far is a 5k? 3.1 miles?! I haven't ran unless it was to catch a flight in 12 years! I finished my undergrad over a decade ago too! Just commit to showing up for yourself everyday. I got this!
