I have spent the last 3 years trying to find a good work/home balance. I just didn't find it! I was always stress and my relationship with my husband was non existant. I went back to work only 5 months after having my children as I was offered a promotion incentive both times. I would leave my girl/s at daycare at 7am, rush to catch the 7:22am GO train to make it to work for 8:30am (would curse my way there if running late, stuck in traffic or not finding parking) I would pick up my girl/s for 6:00pm and get home just in time to get dinner ready, feed and bath the children and get them to bed. My husband got home at 7pm and would help when he could. There were times that we waited for the girls to be asleep at about 8:30pm to sit down to a peaceful dinner together. There were other times that we both fell asleep while putting th girls to bed. It was all CRAZY!!!

6 months ago, our lives did a 360. My employer offered me the opportunity of becoming a Teleworker(working from home). I naturally jumped at the chance and have found a great Balance in my live.

I now see my husband off to work in the morning, get the girls to preschool for 8:30am, grab a coffee at Tim's on my way home and sit down with my computer. On my breaks and lunches I make dinner and run other chores. I pick the girls up from preschool for 4:30pm and bath, feed and play with them as we wait for daddy to have dinner as a family. I find myself to be a more pleasant person to be around and find more satisfation in being a working mom.
