Working mom in unbalanced mood

I have been struggling lately with a work like balance. When your husband has his own business, it is not always 9-5 and each day is different. Some days he is home by 5:30pm, some days later-last night it was closer to 7pm. Normally we can handle this at home. But right now my job isn't fitting too well into our established life pattern. We are undergoing some pretty assinine changes. They seem to think that having people work online from home in the evenings and on weekends will make the job more flexible and appealing. Really? Not so much for me-when I am home, I am trying to keep Lucas from charging out the door, trying to cook dinner, trying to keep up on laundry and following my husband around picking up after him. How will I be able to accomplish sitting at a computer waiting for students to IM me? And weekends are out because I am home alone with Lucas EVERY SATURDAY and Sundays Marc sometimes does house calls. And Marc does work on the computer as well. When he has a deadline to get ads done or answering his own customer's emails, I know he needs to be the priority. Do I really want to pay a babysitter to watch Lucas while I make myself more available to students? Not really.

My appraisal is coming up and I am not looking forward to having this discussion with my boss. She will try to paint it in a positive way and make it seem like a great change. Maybe she has said it enough to herself that she actually believes it when in reality, it is the most backwards thing this office has done in a long time.

I have always managed to balance things but I believe that these changes will finally nudge me into finding a new job-I need to respect Marc's work and my time with Lucas.
