DH and I have a business... like PP, I too get almost nothing done these days, paperwork is piling up like crazy. DH is gone usually 12 - 14 hrs a day, so it's just me & DS all day.

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
DH and I have rental properties which I manage, the work is really minimal unless something goes wrong at one of the properties (we only have 5).
I also have my own diaper biz. I make CDs and sell them online. Before DD I could manage to do 5-6 hours of work a day. Now I am lucky to get 2-3, some days zero.
I telecommute for my company that files hazard insurance claims on foreclosures and pre-foreclosures. We are having to hire a nanny for DD2 b/c I can't get work done otherwise - and my company is pretty flexible with my hours.
Both my husband and I work in sales. He is an account executive for a mortgage wholesaler and I am a district salon consultant for a wholesale beauty distributor. He works out of the house about 90% of the time and I am at about 50%. When we are not working from home we are in the filed seeing clients. Neither of us an "office" to go to. We are either at home or in our car or seeing clients.
Although we work from home a lot we are required to have full time daycare. Usually if someone works from they home they still have to have childcare.
I am a consultant for a commercial insurance agency. I pretty much just answer questions that the agents have. We communicate via email, instant messenger, and phone. My LO is pretty easy going so I've been able to respond to the emails and IM's I get pretty quickly.
I'm a business analyst. I also telecommuted when I was an account executive for the same company. We are required to have childcare during the day per our telecommuting agreement with the company.
