The delicate balancing act between work and family that is part of Vieira's daily existence is a constant challenge. I don't know quite how to handle that except to just accept it and do the best I can. All of that is a world away when we pull up to the home Vieira shares with her husband and children. Willy, the family dog, bounds outside to greet his mistress and Lily appears at an upstairs window upon hearing her mother's voice. Inside, the sun-drenched living room with its overstuffed sofa and chairs is dotted with family photographs.
Tonight there are baseball games to go to and computer games to be played.
But before Vieira can completely leave her professional life behind for a few precious hours, she's got to make a quick trip to Scarsdale. Then, having dropped off her interviewer, Vieira heads back home for one last but very important task - to take her place on the sidelines of her son's Little League game to cheer on the home team.
