"I don't know how you do it all."

I hear that a lot from people who are amazed at the volume of work I do. But tonight, I'm proud of the fact that despite knowing I had to finish writing a speech and an article for a magazine, and edit a press release, I took the time away from this computer to take my kids to the movies.

We saw "Are We There Yet?" We laughed out loud together! We ate popcorn and candy. On the way home, we played Snoop Dogg at the maximum volume in the van, with the bass pumped up so the doors were vibrating. (The kids love doing that!) And the theme of the movie energized me and ackowledged my decisions about how I spent my time today: family is the most important thing in the world.

Despite all this work I had to get done today on a Saturday, I watched my son play a basketball game and I took my kids to the movies. The speech is not as polished as it will be by Monday. The magazine article was a copy/paste from one of the chapters in my book. The press release didn't get edited, but the most important work of the day was completed.

Now, I'm going to bed. Tomorrow, I'll do what I can before getting on a plane.
