I love my slow cooker, too. It's been getting a lot of use since I opened my daycare! I'm not saying I'm working like crazy during my break time, I just find what I do do leaves the rest of my night nice and open. Especially with my own son being a bit more high maintenance it's nice to have all my cleaning done right after daycare, and dinner waiting already for the family.

That's not to say I don't sit on my arse during break and do a lot of nothing some days, too I do know my limits, and if it's a hard day, or I'm extra tired, I'll leave it for later or the next day.
