I have great hopes for my family and me. Always have. Now if there's enough time in the day or in my life to hit all the things i plan on that is another matter all together.

I have recently taken on a new job. I've left my first "professional" graphic design job. I've jumped  in the river of chance and opportuniy to find myself landing on the banks of a new and slightly different career path.

I now manage a framing store in Cambridge, MA. (right outside Boston) (Corners Inc.) I have employees. Employees that work hard, ones that hardly work, ones that stop coming to work so i can work even longer hours to pick up their slack. Wow what a change. One that was both welcome and needed!

So together with my wifes income we are comfortable. Great. But adding up the hours that we both work vs. time spent with our son and i get weirded out. How did it come to this?! That we both work crazy hours to make it all come together and not have one of us home to be with the little one.? I suppose that if i were able to make a 3 figure income i would want my wife to stay home with our son and be able to do whatever she felt. Or for that matter if she were making a 3 figure income that i would be an at-home-dad.

So many things i want for myself and my family may never happen. More time with eachother, more time alone, more, more, more.......I have great hopes that what i am doing is the right thing for my family and me.
