Working from home

Does anyone have one of those days where they try and work from home and run errands?  I used to be pretty good at it but with Miss Busy and Mr Important, it is a logistical nightmare.  Besides the twins usually don't want me to put them down when I am home.  They are much better with the Au Pair.  With her, they are on a "schedule", in as much they are predictable.  One lousy dr's appointment and my allergy shots took three hours.  I really thought having kids would be easier.  They would just go with me.  I didn't realize how much gear they have.  Or as my other half puts it, their MEL (minimum equipment list).  Tonight is duty crew night at the fire house.  I am running out as my husband is running in.  Not exactly the healthiest way to have a marriage but somehow we manage.
