MauiMickeyRT @Mr_Fines: @MauiMickey This year has been dramatically different. Work stays at work....home is for family. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2040313266/MauiMickey_normal.jpgTue Apr 24 01:07:40 +0000 2012

MauiMickey@Mr_Fines That is ideal, isn't it? Work at work, home is for play. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2040313266/MauiMickey_normal.jpgTue Apr 24 01:08:07 +0000 2012

namesescapemeI find, this year, has been horrid. With the load of union meetings, I am bringing more stuff home, and then my home suffers. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2109804468/55c4565a-340d-4ce9-a467-03be3c0de0c7_normal.pngTue Apr 24 01:11:15 +0000 2012

ellie_d_grant@namesescapeme bringing stuff home - so agree it is the extra emotional stuff this year that is making it a balance challenge #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1355556403/EllieEarthday2_normal.jpgTue Apr 24 01:13:28 +0000 2012

CarrieMarshall1#kinderchat I have been staying late on Fridays to set up everything for the next week. Then my weekends are freed up.http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1924795062/100_2099_normal.JPGTue Apr 24 01:14:51 +0000 2012

MauiMickeyRT @B_Sheridan: I try to limit my distractions when I'm with my boys so that I'm really there. Sometimes it's tough though. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2040313266/MauiMickey_normal.jpgTue Apr 24 01:14:59 +0000 2012

26
tori1074@CarrieMarshall1 I do that too. Stay late Fridays and leave early on Mondays-it helps me a lot. I also plan 2 weeks at a time. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2131189377/image_normal.jpgTue Apr 24 01:16:19 +0000 2012

mrsmelvaWith grandson at home I have less flexibility to work late so try to get as much done as I can when I can & do the basics daily #Kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1685100869/SUNP0052_2_normal.JPGTue Apr 24 01:19:02 +0000 2012

happycampergirlI have an ironclad rule about ONLY checking school e-mail Mon-Fri, 8am - 5pm. Helps A LOT. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1250196140/pouty_face_normal.jpegTue Apr 24 01:19:03 +0000 2012

31
B_SheridanI check my email outside of school time. Use school time more efficiently for planning rather than reading/responding to emails. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1592593033/IMG_1495_normal.JPGTue Apr 24 01:20:45 +0000 2012

33
tori1074@MauiMickey Most of the time, it's stuff like so and so is ordering lunch or a pickup. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2131189377/image_normal.jpgTue Apr 24 01:24:06 +0000 2012

MauiMickeySo how do you spend your holiday breaks? Planning for school, or do you check out and go on vacation? Is vacation important? #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2040313266/MauiMickey_normal.jpgTue Apr 24 01:27:03 +0000 2012

Mr_Fines@MauiMickey @Matt_Gomez @happycampergirl opposite here...the less I know = not as stressed out. Knowing too much not always good #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1645866175/DSCF0044_normal.JPGTue Apr 24 01:37:32 +0000 2012

Matt_Gomez@Mr_Fines @MauiMickey @happycampergirl are you saying we all work differently? Hmmm wonder if kids are unique in that way too #Kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1492274692/image_normal.jpgTue Apr 24 01:38:40 +0000 2012
