Life seems really short as soon as kids enter the picture. The best line I ever heard about kids and life was this:
With children, the days are long but the years are short.
These days, I find myself trying to find the "work/life balance", which is really just me managing the ebb-and-flow of time between work and family. What I've learned in that process is that while work provides some satisfaction that meets an internal need, it will never ever hug me back.
Take time, hug your kids, leave your work every now and then. The years won't seem so short that way.
