Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my less ideal days, in that I get home from work at the same time as, or after, the kids. Ideally I would have maybe 20 mins first in which I could catch up with my emails etc before paying them attention. Sometimes they have activities of their own anyway - TV or dog walking and I can sneak a quick email check. Sometimes the activities involve my own computer so I don't get a look in.
I know I'm addicted to my internet connections. One of my paid roles in particular includes responding fairly rapidly to situations- trouble shooting - and I don't like it when I know my emails have lain unseen from maybe 9am til late. Tues eves I sometimes get a half hour slot between my girly leaving for dog agility, before I have to collect my son from cubs, and it's a precious grab-a-look time!
Clearly one solution would be to check emails on my phone. But I feel it's actually good not to be on call 24/7, and if I used my phone in that way, would I EVER switch off?
The cubs are an especially happy lot at the moment due to the ma-hoo-sive pile of stones ready for turning my twisty path into a cycleway. You can imagine - a bunch of 8 n 9 year old lads joyously enjoying running up and down the rubble mountain. I didn't join in, but have def had my serious head on too much recently. Tomorrow might have to be a silly hat day...
