(i have it bookmarked) Such good perspective on why we are doing what we are doing. I have been blessed to be able to stay home with my bebes (now 2 & 4) and have had a steady flow of design come through the door over the years. I'm not gonna lie- it has not always been easy. There are still times that I forget the "why" and meddle in the "why me?" but when I remember to keep perspective and live today as it was intended- raising my beautiful bebes instead of my neighbor or a stranger- then it is a good, good day. I do think the most difficult part is being limited to the 10 minute productivity bursts. It often takes me 9 of those minutes just to get focused and back in the flow. When I actually get an hour, or *gasp* TWO consecutive hours it feels like I've hit the jackpot! Thanks for another dose of right perspective... until next time.

The corporate job was a tougher struggle, in that I didn't (often) have the option of working at night; the hours were (roughly) 9-5. All that you said worked for me; at one point I had two toddlers at home! Still, I'm glad they're in school now, allowing me to do more than work and parent.

Fortunately, my wife (project new biz/mananger/motivator) has time to watch our son during the day. I help out with music education, dinner, play time, reading, and putting him to sleep. Remember fellow freelancers: there's always time for your child. Work will always be there. Prioiritize family time into your daily schedule and try to take weekends off. Or only work Sunday nights. You'll thank me later. Now if only I had room for a couch in my office. I’ve got a 2 yr-old and luckily he understands when daddy closes the office door, it’s workin’ time.
