Wise words, my friend. If your family is a burden, you need to rethink your priorities. :-)

Yea my last post came out wrong, not trying to cut my family time. My kids are the best and I love spending time with them. 10 years later and my wife is still my best friend. Although I don't think it's selfish to want a little alone time, just a hr or two a week.

At the moment work is eating up a lot of my time. At the new job, where I'm a PE teacher in one of poorest and low preforming Elementary schools in NYC. My actual job is going well, but I'v been waging a gorilla war to drag my school into the 21st century. When I arrived there was only one class room with computers for student use and they were 10 plus year old laptops running XP. They weren't aloud on the school network and were running old CD rom games. I moved them over to Lubuntu and started the first in a series of Donors choose project for R-pi's, 1080p monitor's, mice/keyboards, etc.

I've now gotten 6 technology centers funded different classrooms, that's about $5,500 and 30 computers. A 7th is up now, no link because I'm not hitting you guys up for cash. This has me doing lots of pear training, support, and planning around the new computers, keep in mind I'm the PE teacher.

I used to make time after the kids go to sleep but now thats when I do things like planning for my own classes. I could just do my job and go home but I feel like this is really helping.
