Someone recently mentioned being interested in my day-to-day at home.  Inspired by her posts, I thought this may be the best way to capture what an average 18-hour period looks like for us.  Well, it's more average if you remove the ladies and replace it with Star Trek and Joel.  But he was at a work event, and this was more picturesque anyway.




*I recently read that the average stay-at-home-mom works 97.2 hours per week, and she would gross $113K if paid for those hours at $22.50/hour. If only.

I recall a study (Dartmouth I think?)that claimed 85% of an adult's psychological development happened in the first 6 years of life. S.A.H.M.'s are well worth the investment!

Of course that is presuming your mom (or SAHD) is somewhere near normal:)
