Children can make you feel guilty...

In addition to my daily workload, I am currently enrolled in the MBA program at the University of Iowa. I'm not sure why I put myself through this torture, maybe it's the promise of a better tomorrow for Colette, the kids, and I. I don't know.

It requires me to be away from home sometimes 2 nights a week. Because I choose to do this, I obviously lose out on great play time. B has been picking up on the fact that Daddy is gone to work all day long, then comes home and leaves shortly thereafter again to go to "school" which B associates as "work."

Last night as I got up from the dinner table, I told the kids I loved them and daddy had to go to school. As I planted kisses on their foreheads (their faces messy from dinner) Brayton looked up at me and said "Daddy, no school." "Stay here and play."

If that doesn't break a fathers heart, nothing will.
