Problem: So , we 're not as far along as we 'd like to be , but we 're headed in the right direction . Work has been completely nuts for me this past week . I ' m ashamed of how many hours I logged , because I typically like to have a balance between my life at work and my life at home . That balance has n't really existed this week , so I ' m hoping that the coming week will be different .

Why may some family members me mad at the narrator ?

A: They are always at work .


Problem: A favorite place of ours turned out to be the Four Queens casino , where we had a WONDERFUL dinner . Mine was a great sandwich , but Tony 's was even better ... the " Hawaiian plate " ... terriyaki steak , an egg , and rice . It was SOOOO good ... and only cost $ 7 .

What may be the reason for knowing what someone else 's food tastes like ?

A: They 've been offered a bite .


Problem: What an incredible thing , to see ourselves as we truly are , the magic of ourselves , the gift of us . Not the better lose this , trim this , icky , what 's my hair doing , scrunch of the face we often do in the mirror , but the seeing the best of who we are reflected back to us in someone else 's eyes . We did n't plan it this way but I saw it unfold all around us .

What does the author want to keep from this experience ?

A:
She wants to remember to see the best in herself .
