I know I shouldn't feel bad about it, and the feeling is passing lol. It was absolutely the right choice to visit Scott's grandma and she was so happy to see us. I just hate that some people make me feel that when I try to do something in my personal life, my professional life will suffer! But I don't want to be like my coworkers where their life IS their job. Mine isn't! My life is Scott and Layla and the rest of my family and friends. My job just pays for me to be able to spend time with them. I need to balance out somehow! One of these men moved his whole family here from Arizona (he has two young kids), but he still never sees them because he's always at the office.

I am so happy Dae Lynn came to help you! I know how busy you've been and with Christmas around the corner it would be overwhelming.

I wish I could have done the same thing with my parents this past weekend! They were trying to get the cabin ready for Christmas with my dad putting up lights outside and my mom setting up the tree and wrapping presents, stocking the fridge and cupboards, taking out bedding and setting up enough sleeping spaces for everyone! She was exhausted when I talked to her Sunday evening. I think next year, Scott and I might host Christmas at our house and take the stress off our parents!
