[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids? Could they go to aftercare and do homework there to give you more time?

I would definitely hire out cleaning and maybe laundry and yard. Also I would maybe drop either sports or music.

I would leave your husband alone about his puttering. My DH is a night owl and just needs less sleep than I do.[/quote]

Aftercare was my first thought as well.  Working those early am hours would kill me.  My DD really loved extended day, so much so that when I tried to pick her up before 5:30 when she was younger, she was very irritated with me.  She'd get her homework done there.  I did one of those meal prep places a lot when she was younger so I had dinner all prepped when we got home and just needed to cook it.  (Let's Dish is no more or I'd still be doign that.). Now I try to cook a couple of big meals on the weekends and freeze them so there's less work to do during the week.  Dry cleaning gets picked up and delivered to the house.  Cleaners come every other week.  I'm trying now to outsource laundry and yard work.[/quote]
