Having your own office at home is wonderful, no doubt about that.
Everyone think I am the luckiest someone who can read and watch TV whenever I want during the day. No bossy boss around me. However, not many people are taking your work seriously and sends reminders if I haven't answered quickly enough on FB or Twitter. --and it is dangerous to slip in there the whole time--you are getting hocked.
Kids home from school--and "yippee" there are many and long holidays these days. When the kids are home I'm trying to go up at 04.00 and work until they go up around 0900. SO when I want to take one hour nap in the afternoon since my "mom shift" ends around 23.00 the whole house is going crazy, "Mom, you always sleep, its not fair!"
O....key!!!!
Trying to create my thoughts for finishing my manuscript with barking dogs in the background, fighting kids and asking if they can use my computer; "Mom it's not fair I don't have a computer, Lisa in my class (1 grade) got one in HER ROOM!!!.
When I come back the keyboard is sticky with peanut butter, or something "I don't want to know what it is"
And the lizards food in my office (I didn't put them there but everyone voted that since I had such a big office and my table was the only that was big enough) = crickets playing for me "let me out, let me out!" it is a kind of psych thing feeling over that. Especially when you are close to being Vegan! (and the crickets doesn't like can crickets--)
Despite all that, I am home if something would happen in school (with my children) and I can run over quickly--2 minutes run--. My children will always know that their mom is home, it gives them a safety feeling. For lunch I can hear everything that happened in the morning; who pulled whose hair, and who gets everything while they doesn't get anything. And...at lunchtime, I am still awake.
Regardless of all the craziness, I can have a glass (or two) of wine during my office hours in my coffeecup. That's Amore!
Now that is something!
