i have wednesdays and sundays off. i have 1 child in school all day and another younger child in 1/2 day afternoons (and one on the way 12/12/02) - i have to leave my house at 8:20am to get to work by 9am. I can get up at 5:50am, make coffee and a bowl of cereal, hop on the internet, e-mail and talk to you guys, etc for 1/2 -3/4 hour and be out the door by 6:45am for my 1hr and 10 minute loop (21 miles) then shower, get my oldest on the school bus (lather both of them with lotion before camp in the summer) and off to work. the night is for family. on my off days i can get 2.5 to 3 hours in between carpool obligations.

this allows me 8-almost 10 hrs a week. 3160 miles (11/15/02) and counting.
