Can I eat my cake and have it at the same time? This is my discovery. I think I can.

Forget work-life balance! Forget work-life integration. I want it all. I want to be with my little toddlers through every discovery, disaster and delight. I want to experience childhood again through their eyes. I live for the daily screeches of joy every time I walk in from a long day at work and > secretly pray for each drop of a moment to last. I want to be there for > school pick-ups, field trips, first movie, and first injection. There's just > a little hiccup standing in my way. That hiccup involves, travel, long nights and nerve wracking deadlines. Not to say that I don't like it...no. I love it. I cannot imagine a life without it. I think I can eat my cake and > have it. I just don't know how long it will take me to do so. Join me as I make the discovery and hopefully when I am done, the kids won't be on their way out the door.
