absolutely.
thank
god
for
the
invention
of
the
laptop
and
the
cordless
phone!!!
this
way,
I'm
portable.
I
have
been
known
to
change
diapers
while
carrying
on
business
conversations.
It
was
easier
when
the
middle
one
was
in
daycare,
but
when
I
cut
my
outside
the
house
hours
down
to
2
nights
a
week
so
the
baby
wouldn't
have
to
go,
we
decided
the
5
year
old
could
stay
home
too.
Now
I
am
having
a
hard
time,
but
I
wouldn't
change
it.
He
seems
to
need
me
more
than
my
6
year
old
does,
so
it's
better
for
him.
The
one
thing
I
can't
seem
to
get
through
his
head
though,
is
that
when
I
am
on
the
phone,
I
can't
have
a
conversation
with
him
too.
Anybody
know
how
to
deal
with
that?
Rosemary 24th Mar
YES!
YES!
YES!!
I
dashed
in
here
while
the
little
guy
was
getting
bathes
(thanks,
Hubby!),
and
his
brother
was
attending.
:)
Brother
just
came
out
to
"visit"
me
...
and
now
here'
Hubby.
:)
LOL!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA.
I'm
laughing
at
this
as
my
daughter
is
half
on
and
half
off
my
bed,
because
she's
insisting
she
cant
sleep
in
her
own
room
(again!)
and
Im
insisting
she
can't
sleep
in
my
room
for
the
100th
night
in
a
row.
Meanwhile,
my
bed
(which
has
become
my
evening
office)
is
covered
with
an
array
of
papers--and
I
don't
seem
to
be
getting
anything
done.
ARGGGG

Oh
my
gosh
-
YES!!!
Every
single
day!
It's
very
hard.
I
feel
like
the
rules
change
every
day.
I
don't
see
that
changing
any
time
soon,
so
I
try
my
best
to
adapt.
I
look
for
solutions
all
the
time.
You
are
not
alone
by
any
means!

EVERDAY.
I
get
little
snipits
of
time.

I have a graphic design and desktop publishing business that I run from home. I also homeschool my youngest son, who is now 15. (His older brothers are in college full time now). My son is very independent and has his own routine each day. We have breakfast and lunch together and also read and play music together each day. In between, he does his schoolwork and I do my projects.
On the days my husband is home, our routine gets basically blown up. It's hard for me to start a writing or creative project and then be interrupted because he is looking for company. I've trained my kids to leave me to my work...guess I need to work on the dh!
