Writing, Summer and Kids

One of My Minion's- Umm- Children, In My Office

Time for the annual quandry: How do you run a successful freelance writing business while the kids are on summer break?
Here are some things that I am trying this year:

• Working after the kids are asleep. This also has the added bonus of my office/sun room being nice and cool.
• Sending the kids to vacation bible school. This is only for a few hours a day and only lasts for a week, but I'll take what I can get! 
• Shipping them to family members every now and then. My girls have already been to my mom's for the weekend twice. 
• Work while the kids are completing their daily chores. They'll be occupied and won't be saying "Hey, Mom!" every five seconds. (They're doing chores right now, in fact.)
