Bath, no need to apologise for the vent - I hear you! I must say that being able to go to work is an absolute salvation - even though when I am there I want to retreat to the world of babies and housework it is definately good to get on the train, read the paper or a novel in peace, and get down to work. The trade off is I am in the thick of it while I am there and it is non stop, and the work looms ahead of me and clouds my view of my days at home. Even when I log on to BB at work I find myself in work mode and being really anti baby-stuff - I can kind of feel myself getting all hard ar$ed, which I think you have to do to survive when you are in that kind of environment. But I decided today that try as I might I cannot just do the random work from home thing - I have to set days and times (which will probably be evenings) otherwise I have this constant guilt and, like I said, it clouds my Flynnie time, which I don't want.

The Mother's Assistant sounds like a great idea! I have often thought that to have someone come to my house from, say 3pm to 6pm every day would be a godsend. In the mythical time when I am working (almost fulltime) and we have our 3 kids I can picture something like that. Problem is I don't think anyone would do as good a job as my mum, but I doubt DH would tolerate his MIL coming over every day!! Maybe I could get mum to interview someone for the position?

I have another full day planned for tomorrow - house cleaning in the morning before a 1 hour walk to mothers group for one of the kids' first birthday (OMG!) before heading home to drop Flynn with his day while I head in to the city for a seminar on leasing law. Oh and I have to cook dinner in the morning too otherwise we will starve LOL!

Better go - I want to get a bit of work work done tonight, even if its half an hour. Check out the latest video on Flynnie's site - "I wanna be a test pilot". It cracks me up!
