It's true. It's funny though, my friends who are stay at home moms are all excited. For those of us that can't afford that luxury, it's like "Oh no!" It's no break for us. Up earlier. More running around. Homework to help with. Getting the kids to bed earlier. More exhaustion. FUN!  |

Ugh. Thanks for the reminder. I'll need to get up extra early to deal with the traffic grind. I'd gotten spoiled...

I always have this thought every Labor Day - traffic's gonna suck until mid November or so. I'm going to work from home more than usual just because I don't want to deal with it!!

I'm going to try to get away with working from home as well. I hope so. My commute really stinks right now, and the public transportation options out here stink even more.

Lucky me, I travel south in the morning and north in the afternoon.
Never any traffic.

For those who thought they got a better deal by buying out in Western NJ and PA and moved in this summer. The I78 traffic was not as bad as everyone said it was going to be. Wake up call, all the vacationers are back home and the school teachers are about to hit the roads adding about a million more cars to the roads. That 30 min. ride to the office is now going to be 1 hour. You were warned but the cheaper house and lower taxes were too good to pass up.
