I love your comment: "Working at home in the summer is like keeping fingerprints off stainless....only less pleasant."
Ha! When I wrote "Mom's Summer Hours" http://www.workitmom.com/article-213, I thought I had it all planned out. And it's not like I haven't done this before. But the older your kids get, the more they are involved in, and the crazier it becomes to fit your office hours in. Somehow though, the work gets done, you get to the pool, you get to the soccer fields, you feed everyone, you tuck in, and sit together for breakfast, and it's all good!
