How Do You Work From Home?

Seriously? How does anyone work from home without being interrupted, being distracted or feeling guilty around your small children?  Really?  I am currently typing this with a 4 year-old on my shoulders and a 2 year-old banging his grocery cart against my computer tower.  I can't believe I haven't made a spelling error yet...
Oops - there goes a crayon under my desk....oh, now it is being used to draw lines all over the desk.  Hmmm, somehow I just don't care. :-)
Actually, my boys are pretty fun to be around, but just like a cat jumps on your newspaper as soon as you open it up, your kids sense when you want to get a few minutes of work done and they climb on your lap as well.  It's almost uncanny.
Guess I haven't much more to say today, but gotta go - gotta go play with my kids.  They are, after all, the reason why I have this business.

    LMAO!!!! I couldn't have put it better myself! I don't think I've ever even thought that I could do it! I just do the best I can and hope to make a little money in the end!!

    Yeup - a little money and the glowing pride of owning your own business no matter how small, right? Keep it real, sista.

    Looks like you are doing great! I just started trying to do a little freelance work myself, and it is definitely tricky to find that balance. Let me know if you figure it out because I certainly haven't! :) BTW, I love all your new stuff!

    Thanks for the compliments Jen! And thanks for following my blog everyone! I haven't figured out the work-home schedule yet and it's been trying. My boys are definitely restless...
    Send me an email and tell me about your freelance work!

    Wow! I guess I am not the only one thinking about how to juggle everything these days - just read an article in the paper yesterday (can you believe I had time to read the paper?) by my fav blogger and columnist in the Hartford Courant, Jim Shea. Check it out - while yer there, check out a bunch of his stuff - he tells it like it is... www.courant.com/tooshea

    Um, I love that Heidi is playing dress up in her Flower Girl Dress! BTW...your blog is starting to give me anxiety about being a stay at home mom...and I don't even have children yet. HA! You're doing a fab job, lady. xoxo

    OH Ali! She actually went to a Masquerade Ball with her daddy (run by Girl Scouts) and so we thought it was appropriate to get out the gown! No anxiety - it just takes getting used to. :-) xoxo Bwahahahahahahahahaha
