Even though my wife would probably disagree, I do have a life outside of work. I have a very understanding wife, Kelly, and two fantastic kids, Abby and Ella.
There is nothing like two small kids (18 months apart) to prove to you that you really don't have anything under control. Before the kids, I thought I understood how life works. I had a great wife, and enough free time to do everything I wanted to do. After the kids, I don't have the time to follow up on any of my hobbies, and I couldn't be happier. I spend way too much time at work, but most days I get a small pick-me-up about half-way through the day, when Abby calls me to tell me she wants me to come home. There is nothing better than that phone call.
