I work from home now, have since baby #1 was born. I am really really lucky to have had so much time with them. I go out for hours at a time for meetings, sometimes I am locked in my office for hours and they are with the au pair (by the way - I wish we'd done the au pair thing sooner- we had nannies before). I work but the boys always know they can come if they need me (unless the door is closed), I was home to nurse them and take them to the park if I felt like checking out early. <BR/><BR/>I am not going to have that flexibility once/if I am in law school. I will have to keep reminding myself that we can make it work and that it is only temporary. Right now I am looking at a school in Los Angeles that has a mommy-track. It's a 3.5 to 4 year program, but all of the classes are from 9am to 1pm so if you need to get your kids from school you can be home. How great is that? I figure I'd stay at school, reading, until three. Gabo would be picked up by the au pair and just be at home napping anyway. On my way home, I'd pick up Jonas and we'd have some mommy time. Then after bedtime more studying. Does this sound reasonble or like I am high?<BR/><BR/>If I only get into a three year program, I will just have to suck it up and plow through. Doing the best that I can to balance the demands. I have tried to only apply to schools that work with mothers (giving us a choice of section so that we can be finished with our classes earlier in the day). <BR/><BR/>The wait is agony. <BR/><BR/>I am thrilled to have another mother or two to talk to about the unique demands of our lives.Miekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379642820223275359noreply@blogger.com
