179541_10151855741325122_1613581319_nToday, my twins told their afterschool teacher what they wanted for Christmas. “I want Santa to bring mom home.” Wow. Talk about tugging at the heart strings.

Days like these, this driven, career mom weighs the choices she’s made.

I’m traveling on and off for 12 weeks for a work assignment. The family came out to CA to visit for Thanksgiving, and I’ll be home for Christmas for almost 3 weeks, but it’s still tough. I miss my family, and obviously they miss me.

Ultimately, the choices I make for my career are ones that I believe will benefit our family in the long run. And most of the time, I’m perfectly happy with the way my life is, but at moments like these, it’s tough. My husband said they hadn’t been particularly vocal about missing me, but it sure makes me weepy to hear how much they do miss me. And proud to know they love their momma.
