The only time I can do my writing is when the kids are at school and at night when all three of them are in bed. With 4 hours of me time everyday in the morning and at night, I normally update my blogs, write my online assignments, churn out invoices and work on things that need thinking. The moment the three rascals are back, I hardly have time to do those things. A simple write-up on foam mattress which takes me 10 minutes to whip up without the kids around would take me hours or even half a day to dish out when the kids are around. The rascals can really zap off all my energy and leave me feeling terribly jaded by 8ish pm!
