She knows the instant I sit down to the computer or check my phone, and then she comes over to investigate... climbing up my legs, grabbing at my arms. So, it is a disaster to try and get much done while she is in the room. Luckily she has started napping for longer periods of time in the morning. So much that I can get a good amount done and then feel more focused on her. It is hard to just say, I'll do it at night when she goes to bed. For one, hello... I need to spend time with my husband too. For two, I am exhausted. It is hard to find the balance. Good luck to you.

I usually say that I feel like I am running my everything at 25 percent of it's capability. Every day...something's gotta give. One day, it may be my hair, another it may be a healthy meal, or time with the Hubby. It's a daily struggle and I keep all the balls in the air as best as I can.SmartBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187513727826950625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056497518639586720.post-90843702687787772342010-04-13T08:27:52.932-05:002010-04-13T08:27:52.932-05:00Been there.

I've also worked on keeping things separate. I guess so much of my email is not for school or work (ie. I use it for entertainment) that I felt like it was no different than watching TV and ignoring her. If it was strictly school and work related, I'd probably still feel guilty.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239681869880330018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056497518639586720.post-84634681458019942182010-04-12T15:18:55.215-05:002010-04-12T15:18:55.215-05:00Ah, yes.

I do get a babysitter now and then when I'm particularly overloaded with work, but for some reason that makes me feel even more guilty. Now that I have an iPad I can actually sit with her and check my mail at the same time, though I have yet to decide if that makes things better or worse.Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149615417507090988noreply@blogger.com
