Twist

I spent this week traveling for business. It made for long days at the office. But at the same time it was an invigorating week and the work felt important and new and exciting.

Even though I was only gone a couple of days, I missed home and my life as mom. It doesn't take long, when being away, to become twisted up in the competing demands.

When I walked into the house last night, everyone ran at me in a rush. It was a thrill to see everyone, even only after a few short days. It was wonderful to hold the little people. It was good to be back where I belong.

I'm still twisted up with competing demands, but the kind of work I do here at home is the kind that matters in such a different and important way.
