On snow days we scramble depending on who has meetings, etc.<br /><br />Is that what you meant?Sammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383399648493239044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-54089116485537147992018-02-23T16:57:44.048-05:002018-02-23T16:57:44.048-05:00Can't your husband help??Can't your husband help??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-11194731463847497612018-02-22T14:00:09.788-05:002018-02-22T14:00:09.788-05:00I love this post too.

I'm able to work from home about 90% of the time and I have part time child care for my two young (non-school age) children. I LOVE that I get to have the best of both worlds- being home a ton with my kids while using my degree BUT it is lonely! It is hard to totally fit in with my friends who stay home full time or work full time. So thanks for making me feel less lonely! Sometimes I just have to encourage myself to keep going, knowing it will all worth it in the end! We can do it!

And, I agree with your ending that it'd be nice to have an inspirational quote, but we're all just doing the best we can. My schedule is that I'm working 9 months of the year and off in the summer (which is a great for having children), but it poses an expensive daycare question because we need full-time care for 3 children during the school year but not during the summer. It's not typically optional to drop a child in and out of a full time daycare. Anyway, I appreciated this post on the "juggle."<br /><br />BCueninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480574364292538591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-4047857859749647222018-02-21T13:57:36.796-05:002018-02-21T13:57:36.796-05:00Loved reading this, Samma!

I am SO MUCH HAPPIER back at work "three-quarters" time, but it presents a whole new set of challenges, and I empathize completely with the part-time child care struggles. I love being able to do a lot of the same things I did as a SAHParent and I love using my Adult Brain, but I don't feel as if I ever stop hustling... and not in the cool, hip-hop way ;) Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984896547369166805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-4902725259916269262018-02-21T10:20:32.188-05:002018-02-21T10:20:32.188-05:00Thanks for answering my question!

This might be my favorite blog post ever! :) While I wish you had some secret you were going to share about how you balance it all, it's nice to know I'm not the only one in the trenches. I always tell people--it's both the best and the worst of both worlds. Thanks for sharing and being real.

It's a juggle no matter what you are doing, but I am lucky that I've always loved my job. Thanks for sharing how you make it work!ABShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087019835467918478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-41618582351624332152018-02-20T22:27:01.189-05:002018-02-20T22:27:01.189-05:00I loved reading this!

I really appreciate the flexibility that I do have. My husband also has a very predictable job which helps a ton - no travel or late nights which is huge. <br /><br />I hear you on trying (and failing) to be present when there are a million things going on. I just was reading a study where the recommendation was 5 min/day/child of focused attention. At least I can do that!!the Frugal Ecologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007753245445039830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-21691350746547585412018-02-20T21:28:02.962-05:002018-02-20T21:28:02.962-05:00I appreciate this post so much.

Luckily, I have a very flexible job that allows me to leave early, work from home when needed, etc. However, I typically feel like I have multiple tabs open on my internet explorer in my brain (if that makes any sense).
