QOTD - How much do you think you could do from home

I know I have to wait to see how it all pans out, but I can't help losing sleep. As most of you know, my husband and I own a company that is our first baby really! Me leaving is going to take a bit of a toll, and the arrangement is that we will try to have me work from home when the baby has found herself a routine, and so on. So here is my question (and I know all babies are different). For those of you who have recently had babies, or those of you with really good memories, how easy (or hard) would it be for you if you had to check in on instant messenger for maybe an hour or two a day, check e-mail a few times a day, maybe deal with some minor issues, etc. I mean - is there ANY time? And if there is, how long did it take after the baby came to find that time and routine?

I am hopeful that I see so many of you posting. I can only hope that means there is time in your days to sit down at the computer. The amount of time it takes you to post and reply could be that one instant message to a client of mine to make sure all is well.

Any input would be appreciated - thanks!

It took me a few weeks to get acclimated, but I am getting into a pretty good routine. Nicolas naps a lot, so I have time to do shower, clean and decorate for Christmas. What I need to fit in is laundry and cooking, but there's time for that.

There are times when I feel like all of my chores are piling up and I'm accomplishing nothing and I get a little anxious. That's when I give Patrick a 'Honey Do' list. He's a HUGE help. Make sure you take your DH on every and any offer to help!
