Working from home

Dave has the good fortune of working from home every day. His commute is a few steps from the bed to his desk, and let's just say "business casual" is pretty casual. I guess he could work naked if he wanted to, but he's not that weird.


I have the good fortune of having a flexible enough work schedule that I have the option of working from home from time to time. The main trouble with this is that the kids are often at home with me during those hours, which makes focusing a tad bit difficult. And "days off" are rarely that - today I'm supposedly "not at work," but I'm balancing the Nash family budget (including tax planning - I do our return every year), cleaning the entire house, entertaining a four-year-old, doing laundry, finishing up HIPAA training for work and submitting research protocols, and roasting a turkey for the family dinner (we're having Grandma over). I've bribed Gen to clean up by telling her that I'll do everybody's nails tonight. Yep - pink with glitter.


I actually really feel lucky, and happy about where my life is right now. Especially if things continue to be fairly stable. I'm no Supermom, though, and I loved this clip from Lifetime TV about a mom attempting to work from home. I was just annoyed that her bathtub was clean and her closet was organized. That part wasn't realistic.
