I'm sorry I've been a bit delayed in responding - (Why is that?!? Oh, yea, work stuff!) Grace - I understand completely. I also work with an offshore team, and the difference in hours (11.5 for me) - translates to a lot of late nights or early mornings! Mary and Renee - Thank you both very much...since I started working from home in April (only a week before my step-son moved in with us, and a month before my son got out of school for the summer!) my routine is going to change drastically soon. I can't wait to see how it all works out! Eddy - Enjoy her while she's little and huggable! ;-) Thank you all for the comments on this post!

I recently escaped the rat race a few months ago and now work at home full time and I have less time now than I did when I was trying to juggle my websites and my job. So this post really touched home for me. Now that I have a new baby girl it's even harder. Thank goodness for my wife and being able to afford to keep her home for a year. I don't think I would get anything done. lol We all imagine working at home as being on an ongoing vacation. Or at least I did. But then you have a bundle of joy and your whole world changes. At the end of the day we can't complain. I would never trade being at home with my wife and baby girl for the life of Corporate America. The fact that my family and I can pick up and leave at a whim to some island somewhere is priceless. So it's totally worth it even when my little girl is screaming at the top of her lungs. How she gets so much volume from such a little frame is beyond me. lol Take care guys, Eddy Salomon WorkAtHomeNoScams.com WorkAtHomeCareers.com It’s ironic.

I especially like the focus on "me time". It's so easy to forget it. Now how do we get the members of our family to let us have it? Great suggestions. I especially like the focus on “me time”.

I supervised an off-shore team that worked 7 days a week. This resulted in me checking in 7 days a week to answer questions and resolve issues. NOT fun. Now I've got 2 part-time work-from-home jobs and there's now more family time. I don't supervise anyone and I can fit in the work when I can. My first at-home gig took too much of my time.
