Wow. I'm up between 7-8, breakfast, play with 1 1/2 yr old ball of energy (aka daughter), at work around 8-8:30. Real ***** of a commute - 13 stairs. 11:30-1 lunch break, play with kid, feed her lunch, down for nap, 1:00-3:30ish back to work, 3:30 (whenever daughter wakes up) to 4ish play, 4-6 back to work, 6-7 dinner, 7-8 work 2nd job, 8-9 bed time (daughter's, not mine), 9-whenever I drop (usually 11-12) work 2nd job.

We're sharing child-care duties while my wife works 1/2 days (she's an elementary school teacher) and I work around everyone else's schedule. So far it's working fairly well. When work is busy (I run a small business ($$$) + a music career (no $$$)) I do get a bit stressed with lack of time available for work, but the flipside is no daycare and I get to spend a lot more time with our daughter than most fathers would, especially working 2 jobs.

But man, commuter traffic can be bad - 2 cats, kid toys...

Though working at home does get lonely often.
