Balanced Structure and Relaxation
I find the way that works best for me is to treat working at home just like working in an office. I get up in the morning, have my coffee and watch a little bit of news on the television, then I go in and get dressed just like I'm going into the "office," even if I am just in my home office and no one will see me. I've always tried to avoid working in my jammies because it seems to me I'd be too relaxed and not able to focus on the tasks at hand, if that makes sense. I think keeping as much structure as possible in the home office setting means greater productivity...at least for me it does.
I'm the sole source of income in my household. My boyfriend is the domestic engineer and handles all of those things usually associated with a housewife (cooking, cleaning, running errands, paying bills, and everything else required to run a household). I can earn as much doing 4 hours of transcription than he could earn in 8 hours, so this works out really well for us and he has no problem with being a "house-husband." He also knows how seriously I take my profession and, given the chance, I'll work 18-20 hours a day, so he also helps keep my workaholic tendencies in check. Being an IC, he doesn't feel too neglected in that we can still go out to lunch or go to a movie or watch a movie at home together, all quality activities that keep our relationship on track.
When my daughter, who is in college, comes home to visit, she normally sleeps late. I start to work on my lines earlier than usual so I can still make my commitment yet still have plenty of time left mid/late day to do things with her. If need be, I'll hop on again later in the evening while she and my boyfriend are watching TV or playing a video game, so I can get my lines in.
We're very progresive in my household, and while this is my ideal situation, I realize it's not something that would work for everyone; however, thanks to my supportive boyfriend and my wonderful daughter, I'm able to make a very decent living for us and we're all very content and no one feels neglected.
It's all pretty much about balance and structure, and making it a point, if at all possible, to set aside a couple of hours a day to devote to the other person and still get the job done. I honestly don't think it's QUANTITY of time but rather is QUALITY of time. A couple of hours a day to have lunch, go see a movie, or just lay about the house watching a DVD goes a long way toward ensuring no one feels neglected and that I have all the time I need to provide my little family with everything we need.
Good luck to you and keep us posted on how things are going. Living with the MIL can't be entirely pleasant, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!
Mt. Mansfield, Vermont sm
We're going there on vacation in a few weeks and I hope to hike to the top!
Mine was also Vermont, on a different lake, and I was 4.
- Lake Memphremagog
We stayed in cabins on the lake, and and there were loft bedrooms for the kids that could only be reached by ladders. My aunt and uncle and two of their kids were there. It was my favorite vacation ever, and I was four years old.
Way to go Jill!
:-)
Welcome, Jill, to...
the MT world. You may want to read the New MT Board at this site. Some have posted suggestions for newbies to find jobs. Also, search the Jobs Board. You MAY find a service willing to take on a new comer to the field.
Good luck to you! 
Tim and Jill here....nm

Hey Listenup!! Good to see another Jill Scott fan !!
I just love her. She has a book of poetry out that I need to get! Nice to meet you!
Never put all of your eggs in one basket!
 Flexibility is the "key" in this profession, and also you have the type of job that not just anyone can do and be good at it. Schools promise you the world, but they do in all professions. Life is what you make of it, and that is the true bottom line! Have fun, and keep typing! There are so many doctors that like to have a Transcriptionist they can rely on. Most offices decide once they send it out, to bring it back actually because they don't want to edit their own work! We spoil them, not the EMRs, and believe me they like that!
Food basket!
When I had my own clients, I would bake cookies, brownies and make candy to bring into the office. Everyone enjoys food and hardly anyone has the time to bake anymore. This would be a very appreciated gift since it comes from the heart and your own hands.
basket of goodies
If you have a Sam's Club or similar, buy assorted muffins there (or other pastry type food) and a really nice bag of coffee, creamers, etc. Dress it up in a basket and tie a bow on it.
ROFL ... can you say basket case?!
We're not your enemies just because we're not sounding the alarms like the country is under a bombing attack!
Thought you had to go back to work. LOL
Jewel, Jill Scott, Dixie Chicks, and Tupac! LOL nm

You have to be joking. That lady is a complete basket case.

Winning the lottery
If I won millions I'd quit in a heartbeat...I'm burnt out...was MTSO for 8 years...I'd buy our friend's Ice Hockey Arena so I'd have something to pass on to my boys...We are hockey fanatics.
If it was $1000 a week for life I'd cut down to part-time and try to work more on my personalized craft business.

Winning the powerball! $ for hand transplants :)
Want to keep winning? Having fun yet? Got tons more neat stuff!
Never said I felt that way, not into soul mates - that would be like winning the lottery - sm
odds are against it. But you can meet someone who you feel is the "one", or at least want to marry and have a life with. If you don't have strong feelings I'd say the marriage is doomed from the start unless someone marries only for money and security, then they will put up and deal with almost anything. ----when I was younger I was one very stupid girl, thought the first guy I met would be the guy I married, boy how do girls get such stupid ideas? My mom had gotten me into Harliquin Romances....boy wish she hadn't maybe I would have wised up faster.....funny how all these young women, all virgins/unexperienced, meet and marry successful, wealthy men in those books. If my kids ever read them I will make a point of explaining to them that life is nothing like a Harliquin Romance.
