When my work-partner had to go on unexpected disability for 6 months, I had to pitch in -- and had no day care options for the one extra shift I had to take. So for 6 months on Thursdays I would pick him up from pre-school at 11 a.m., drive to the city like a nut, and work a half day -- with him taking a nap on a blanket under my desk. He would literally hang out on the floor in my little work station for four hours, snoozing, snacking and playing quietly. What a trooper! When I look back on it, I think, was I nuts? But at the time, it seemed like the only solution. When my oldest son was a toddler, I had a crazy flex work schedule.

I bet it does! Oh and the beauty of it was that every time the intern assisting (a guy and VERY CUTE) - did something, my daughter would ask, "What are you doing, honey?"
