family time

I just saw this at one of my friends wall in Facebook.  It struck me big time so I have to repost and share it with my friends with note "for workaholics". 

I repost this also because I felt that it is applicable to what I'm feeling right now.  I was not happy when my husband told me that he has to work late for the week.  I do not have problems with that but when you tell me that after a month with no day-off and late night work, it begins to pissed me off.  The kids would normally look for my husband whenever I woke up late with them over the weekend.  They would excitedly look for him because they know that we will be taking them out to eat or play.   Unfortunately, he have to be at work even on Sundays. :( :(

I don't know how my patience is holding up or how much my understanding would take me but I'm pretty disappointed right now that he cannot leave his work to be with us.

I always remember that one cannot have work-life balance because there is no such thing as 50% family, 50% work.  You either decide to which you would give your 100%.  I know exactly where I would give my 100% and that would be for my family.
