Home life's great, man. The kids are great, happy and healthy. I've reached this sort of wonderful precipice.

I am definitely a Type A personality, always rushing around, trying to do too much, not good at just lying on the beach. But I'm so thankful for everything I have: wonderfully supportive parents and sisters, the best husband in the world, terrific students I love teaching and hanging out with, and above all, my two amazing daughters.

I'm a human being and every human being has problems.

I'm very happy at home. I love to just hang out with my daughter, I love to work in my garden. I'm not a gaping hole of need.

I've been very fortunate. I feel very thankful. I've been able to come home and do some fun things and make it exciting for people here at home.

I love what I do professionally, I'm really blessed. But my priority is my husband and my children.

I'm so lucky, I'm just really grateful for what I've got around me - children and my wife and everything else.

I am able to talk about my life in a way that helps other women - and men, but mostly women - understand their own life. I feel real proud of that. And then the fact that my children are okay. You know, you're only as happy as your least happy child. So if your kids aren't okay, you're not good.

I no longer need to be someone's wife. I'm doing okay as I am.

Certainly it is a blessing to have three beautiful kids who are all healthy. God put them here for me to nurture and bring them up and try to keep as close to right as I can. So it's a blessing. It's a big responsibility, but at the same time it's an honor.
