Balancing act Quote by Stephenie Meyer
“It is hard to find time for everything. Its a balancing act, and I dont always do it perfectly. I make a conscious effort to spend time with my kids every day after school, and to read to them at bedtime. My office is in the middle of the house, and it has no walls. Im always in sight, and they know Im there if they need me. My friends (who are very cool people) totally understand about my limitations, and they welcome me with open arms whenever I finally stager out of my hole to join them.”
