I'm really lucky that I've been able to adjust my schedule to meet family needs. I work 9am - 3:15pm Mon-Thur. I get my DD7 on the bus on my way in and meet her on my way home. Now, do to that I had to take a 40% cut in pay since I'm working less hours but in the end it's definitely worth it. BTW, I get up at 5:30 to workout and get DD up around 7:30. We leave the house at 8:15.
