So here I am sitting at the computer working and my son brings me down a piece of paper that had he found in my room. It reads:

Well this sucks! My daughter left this for me on my bed not realizing I don’t even make it to the bed most nights. She didn’t want to disturb me while I working but needed to get her point across and that she did indeed!

Trying to balance the kids, housework and working from home seems impossible at this very moment after reading her note. How do I explain to my kids that mommy is working day and night learning how the Internet works so I can make money from it to help provide a better quality of life for them? There really isn’t an explanation good enough to justify not spending more time with them. Parenting really sucks sometimes. No matter how hard you try to do right by your kids it seems as though something is there to smack you in the face. I guess one of the greatest lessons we can teach as parents is that we are not perfect, only human. To my kids, “I’m sorry for neglecting you guys and although I still have to work, I also need to take more time to hang-out with you!”[ad#ad-6]
