When I was full time it was so much easier in some ways, i.e. most things didn't get done or if they did, by someone else (nursery, cleaner, ironing lady etc). But now I'm at home it is a juggle. I worked from home for a while like you and this was my biggest problem which I never truly sorted out. My return to work this year will be strictly office bound only!<br /><br />MDMrsVikkitoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907024797797093935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352484297955368438.post-74383900923353757042010-03-18T12:55:21.223-07:002010-03-18T12:55:21.223-07:00Hi, there.

I smiled to myself reading your text for having had the same reaction when realized what the real life of not working outside fulltime actually meant. Not the "plenty of time" I had envisioned. ;)<br />I write a column in a small Brazilian newspaper and, if you ever grant me permission, I'd like very much to translate your piece to my readers. But if you don't think so, it's fine. I'll be coming back here all the same. All the best for you and us all in our quest to enjoying motherhood responsibly but differently from our moms! :)Malu Vargashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909698833313485639noreply@blogger.com
