In my perfect world, I have this great balance between work and the kids. I get to stay home and see them all day, but work when they sleep and for a few hours when a nanny is here to help out. We have a nanny who comes 15 hours a week - a small amount of time that makes a huge difference. This week she has pneumonia. Every time we talk and she is still sick I get a pit in my stomach. I'm getting used to having the help and now I'm behind big time.
When I'm behind it's not just work. It's more the fact that I didn't take a shower until 6 o'clock today, there is a huge pile of laundry, and we haven't left the house all week. It snowed yesterday and it would be a pain to go out, so I guess I won't feel bad about that part. (It is way too late in the season for more snow by the way - this better be the last time!)
The kids are all asleep now, so I better get to work. When things settle down I'm looking forward to using the time after they go to bed to relax in our new tub.
P.S. I love these guys, they are worth it!

I'm sorry you are behind on things, what was your nanny thinking getting pneumonia?? :) Boo on people getting sick when they are needed.
I hope things settle down for you soon and you get a nice bath in that tub (pretty tub by the way!).
I'm also excited you have a blog!
Is there anything that I can do to help? Maybe I can come over tomorrow and help with the kids while you work? That tub does look nice, I will have to tell Kevin I saw his good work!
All of the freelance designers and writers I've worked with say the same - too much or not enough work. Aside from the friends in the office at KB, I know I'm certainly going to miss the steady work! But like you said - it's worth it. :) The photos of your kids are great - I'm so amazed at how big they are now. Hope you get to slow down and enjoy...
sweeet
