I have literally fallen asleep at the switch when doing transcription and it looks like this........ ;alsdkvn;owief hpoih poihvpioae and that's when I take a nap because even if I haven't gotten to that point, I find I easily make mistakes when I'm getting sleepy. I take about a half-hour power nap every day around 3:00. I turn Dr. Phil on my bedroom TV and never get to watch it!! zzzzzzzzz

Naps doing ER reports
I was literally falling asleep at my computer with my hands on the keyboard when I did ER reports. Once I woke up and saw that I had typed the words "have fun." really strange since I am not normally a napper.
Power naps.

Split - first in the morning before kids get up and then the rest during baby's naps.
It helps that I can do an entire day's work in 3-4 hours.
Your hours will need to change as baby grows and starts to sleep less, too! Naps become too

IF it is secondary income, where is the harm? As long as you work around your kids (at night, naps)
a big plus when you are around kids all day and bring in a little cash to help out the household.
I got up early, worked during naps, and worked when DH got home.
You have to be disciplined to make yourself work when baby is napping instead of maybe watching TV or doing housework, etc.
I might also go the route of having a teen come into your home, or either trying a mother's morning out program at a local church/daycare. I've been home since my youngest was born and he has never been in all-day daycare, but I did have him in a mother's morning out program 15 hours a week at a local church. It didn't help a lot with my work schedule because I had an older son in school and was a room mom and tutored other kids, but that might be an option. The only problem with the mother's morning out program is they are around other kids and tend to pick up every germ. I finally took my DS out of the program because he stayed sick. You were supposed to keep them off if they had green nasal discharge and I did, but no one else did. Every time I got him well after 2 to 3 days back he would be sick again. Other than that it was very good for him because he would not have had a chance to be around kids his age otherwise.
