I’ve managed to work from home across three employers since 2002.
So – well, extremely flexible working hours that let me take breaks off to pick
my kids up from school and such, in return for crazy work hours early in the
morning and late at night (well, if you work with colleagues stateside what
better times do you have to ensure that you can talk to them?)
This at least has meant that I can keep up with family time, buying and
furnishing a house, quizzing, facebook and such to fill in the intervals
between frenetic work.
The one thing I possibly regret – or maybe not - is getting email and work apps
on a phone early on – it simply means that I’m never away from work even when
I’m on holiday, or sick in a hospital bed (lay on one for a week, and work, fb,
work, fb type routines are what kept me sane during intervals of high fever,
being shot full of IV antibiotics and cavalierly poked and prodded about by
doctors)

late 2011. Here's how I spent my time (or, as Terry Pratchett once wrote,
"What I did in my holidays")
