Yup, I also tried that for a while. > Then I wake up early, like 4am early. The benefit is you're fresh and hopefully have 2-3 hours before your oldest wakes up. I may try 5am. Once upon a time, I'd wake up early and go running, and such. Now maybe I can get back into the habit, and get some freelancing done. Yes. I realize this, and as far as I can tell, there is no way around this, unless you have a stay-in nanny, which is probably reserved for the reality TV stars. :) I will not fall into the trap of thinking, "yeah, I'll still be able to get side work done.", I know this go-around that's not possible, and the kids are only this tiny once. :) Thanks! I will enjoy it. :)
