When you work at home, life is busy. You get the kids ready, get them to school, come home and clean a bit, get some work done, clean some more, try to remember to eat lunch, work some more, get the kids, maybe work just a little bit more, help with homework, make dinner, spend some quality time together, get the kids to bed, and then try to take a moment for yourself. Just reading that is exhausting.
