going back to work

i've been off work since last friday when jackson was born and having the time off has been nice to spend with nett and the babies but, i have to say that being a full-time parent is much harder than ANY job i've ever had and is especially harder than the one that i have now. my hat goes off to any parent who is able to make the sacrifice to stay at home with their children while they're young. it is definitely not the easy thing to do. being home for these 9 days gives me an even more profound sense of respect for what my wife and so many other parents do every day. so, here's to YOU stay at home parent; keep on keepin on, because i'm a firm believer that what you're doing right now for your children will pay off in the long run.
