i don't feel ready to give it up to be a mom
well we always said you'd stop working when
we had kids but if you don't jeff
yes i will stop working at the newspaper
when we have the baby are you sure
yes this is hard
and i may not feel ready for it but
i know that every life is a gift even one that wasn't planned
so i'll be the best mom i can be
i know you will that's why i love you mia
this is such wonderful news i can't wait till your baby's born
when is the baby due in june
when can you find out if it's a boy or a girl
probably in january i hope it's a girl
daughters are great well
i'm really happy for you too thanks thanks
mia this is exciting but
i thought you wanted to wait longer before you have children
we did i really enjoy my job
but life doesn't always go the way we plan
that's true i'm worried about how my boss will react
he might not understand why i want to stay home with the baby
well i think it's great that you want to you'll be wonderful parents
thank you honey
you amaze me i do
yes you work so hard to become an editor
but you're willing to give it up for our family
well you amaze me too really

thank you you're welcome
i love you and i love you little baby
i love both of you too but jeff

oh no thank you liz
my music store has really turned the corner really
that's great news i'm so thankful for all your help you're
welcome i'm really happy for you my dream is finally coming true
i have my own business and it's profitable
it's also good that you like what you do that's true
i love my music store it must be fun to do something you love
it is don't you like working at the stop and
shop it's not bad
but it's not easy i always have to compare prices with
other stores oh i know what you mean
every month i'm figuring out what our prices should be
right you're always asking yourself
are prices too high what would happen if prices were lower
right it's not fun
and it's hard to compete with large discount
stores it is
i wish i could just have a nice little store with no problems
i don't like worrying about being profitable every month
that's business but it's also exciting right
it has been but i've thought about doing something
else really
what would you like to do managing the stop and shop isn't an
adventure but
managing profit and loss margins every month
can be exciting you really think so
i have to admit liz i like business
really i like it almost as much as i like music
wow that's great so what are you going to do
oh nothing the stop and shop might not be exciting
but it's a good business besides what else would i do
i don't know what do you like
i like adventure i loved brazil
well business is an adventure
maybe one month is a down month the adventure is trying to do better the
next month right right
some months i just break even but even that's fun because i know i did
lose money you're right it is an adventure
doing business can be fun are you two girls doing well
we're fine what about you becca how are your profit margins
how are my profit margins actually the net cafe has been doing
really well that's wonderful
in fact the people at headquarters might want me to work there
wow yeah it would be an adventure
that's fun adventure
what are all these things on the floor they're things to recycle
i cleaned the apartment this afternoon and now i'm tired
i can't stop yawning why don't you take a nap before dinner
i think i will can you be quiet
of course i can be very quiet i won't even turn on
the tv okay thanks
