I'm just coming up for air for a few minutes today - being Mommy to two kids under 3 yrs old while you put in 40-50 hrs a week at home and doing all those other things - laundry, cooking, cleaning, gardening... is tough. Fortunately that intensity of work only happens for about 6 weeks during the summer and we're half-way through then I should be back to my 10 to 20 hours a week - I think I'll need a day or two off at the end of this stint though!
Next year I'm thinking about hiring somebody during this time of the year to come in and watch my kids for me part of the day while I work. For my sanity I think it would be worth the expense. That and then maybe I could have more than 4 hours of sleep a night! Right now I'm working until midnight or 1 in the morning and am getting up at 5:30 when Hubby gets up for work. I'm drinking too much coffee and eating too much chocolate to keep myself going!
Anyway - just popping in over here for a quick break this morning, now I'm off to see how many threads I can catch up on in a 1/2 hour!
