Balancing the Investment Chase and Family Life

New investor looking to close on several of our first buy and hold deals in the next few weeks. I'm also a stay at home mom and I'm finding the adjustment to this 'work load' a tad overwhelming. Young kids do not understand that mom needs to work or trying to sound professional on any sort of phone call is a joke but I want to feel that I am pulling my weight, doing my due diligence if you will, and able to be effective alongside my spouse as we start this journey. How do you handle the challenge of being efficient/effective in this business and balance family life? Do you hire in home help to watch the kids and have 'office hours'. I'm looking for inspiration in how to juggle it all! I'm just finding that this sort of work spans all hours, all days and holidays. TIA!
