I am lucky enough to be a stay at home mom that also takes care of the administrative duties for our small business. At times it is very challenging to balance a busy 22 month old with paperwork. Luckily i can usually work the business demands around my child's schedule. Meaning that when Ryan's down for nap time this is time i can utilize to work on business accounts. The same goes for early in the morning and late at night while ryan is asleep. I really try not to take away time from Ryan. For when he is up i feel this is my time to parent and to take care of his needs.

Although some days it is necessary to take care of business while he is awake. This is usually when havoc abounds, for this is when i get little hands that want to help with the computer and the printer. I can't tell you how many times i have pulled miscellaneous objects out of the printer. I am sure that one day the thing will just give up the ghost lol. I guess this is why we have reward points at Staples.

But what i am trying to say is in this economic times it is necessary to juggle many different hats. You just have to do what you can and always put one's family first and foremost.
