How on earth do you get up even earlier? I wish I could live with as little sleep as you get! LOL! Although, I must say that I've been learning that I didn't need the amount of sleep I was getting and actually feel better with a little less sleep. So, I've been staying up quite a bit later than I used to and I'm getting more work done that way. Kim - that's an awesome way to do it! As a matter of fact, I recommend it to lots of people all the time. I <i>used</i> to make lists all the time. Somewhere along the way I stopped. I really need to start it again!

Then we get to go on day trips, movies, screw off during the day doing whatever we want. Then I work again late late night so everything still gets done for work and we have some fun too!

My tip is to write yourself a list of jobs that you want to accomplish. Do this last thing at night before you go to bed, then you will be able to sleep with a clear mind, knowing that you have written down your jobs for the next day. I find this really helpful, especially when it comes to work that i want to do on my two ART websites. All i can say is List, List, List.

This summer, I am balancing the time itself. Of the 8 weeks of summer, the kids will be with me part of the time and doing other fun things part of the time. One week will be spent camping with their grandparents. Two weeks will be spent at a crafty summer camp down the street from our house. Interspersed in all of those weeks will be the weeks completely with me. But during those weeks we will have our babysitter come over X hours a week and teach the kids how to swim. So I can combine some babysitting time with the lessons themselves and save myself travel time. It will be juggling act no doubt! I already subscribed to Highlights and puzzle magazines and picked up various workbooks, flashcards, and crafts.
