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!!
ReplyDeleteYeup - a little money and the glowing pride of owning your own business no matter how small, right? Keep it real, sista.
ReplyDeleteLooks 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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...
ReplyDeleteSend 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
ReplyDeleteUm, 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
ReplyDeleteOH 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
