I hope some mamas who are experienced at juggling job and home and multiple children will write in. Do they really have it all together or it is just difficult for each of us to see beyond our own circumstances? I went back to work when Elliott was 10 weeks old, but my partner at the time was able to be a stay-at-home-dad and brought the baby to me at school to nurse during my lunch break. The transition back to work was still difficult, but was eased somewhat by having another parent on the scene at home. This is a GREAT question!

With one child it seemed simple- but now with two it seems a bit more difficult. We now have two places to go in the morning, plus two children to get ready, two lunches to make, etc. I see so many parents of multiple children (often times 3 or more) who seem to have it all together. How do you do it? I am not only getting my child ready for school to start (age 5), but also getting myself ready to go back to work- after 4 glorious months with my 5 yr old and a new baby.
