This posting was supposed to be about the different kinds of businesses my wife and I were thinking about starting. Instead it’s about being sick. Not sick of work or anything like that, I’m talking about getting physically ill. Coughing and crying and all that good stuff.

That’s what the hot topic is in our house. In fact, when I left the house this morning, I asked my 5 year old to take good care of her mother because she was not feeling well. She proceeded to explain to me in detail how she was sicker than Mom, and Mom should be taking good care of her. Smart kid.

So a whole weekend went by and we did not get to discuss our financial freedom plan. And it was Monday morning and off I went to work. I got into the office and I couldn’t help but ask myself this question:

“How could we not find time to talk about our goal of financial freedom all weekend, but when it came time to go to work, I went?”

That sounds a bit like a priority mix-up to me. If we were all so sick in the house, how could I manage to get to work? If the case was actually that it wasn’t *that* bad, then why couldn’t we find time to talk about our long term goal during the whole weekend?

This whole line of questioning makes me angry. How has my employer managed to make itself more important than my personal life? It just makes me sick. Oh wait, I’m already sick. Never mind.
