Working From Home!

Working from home there are many advantages for me and my family.  First of all, the best advantage is to be able to run out and get the kids off the bus.  I can also start dinner while I am working, when the kiddies are hungry after school and homework dinner is not too late.  I am also grateful to be able to not miss not one event at school.  However, as the kids are getting a little older next year high school and middle school those school events are not as often.
I love that I can volunteer on my lunch break for any parties,fund raisers,or teacher appreciation events.  Another advantage working for home is if one of the kiddies is not feeling well they can just stay home with me.  I don't have to ever really take any of my personal or vacation days anymore when one of them gets sick.

So now for the disadvantages of working for home.  First of all my kids do not think I actually work.  When they get home from school I will remind them that mommy is working and you all have to sit quietly and do your homework.  They all look at me like I am crazy as my work phone is ringing off the hook.  Their answer is, "but mommy you work from home", like that is a good reason why they shouldn't behave and be quiet. When it's bedtime I remind the kids of the clock and how they need to get to bed because they have school tomorrow and mommy has work.  They will all answer, "but mommy you work from home".  I will say, yes I work from home but I need a good nights rest as well so I can do my job. Another disadvantage working from home is, getting dressed.  I tend to stay in my PJ's for a long period of time before deciding to get dressed.  When I do finally decide to get dressed my clothes tend to be "comfy clothes" sweats and tea shirts.  Although at times I do find myself enjoying this type of clothing especially in the winter, I do often get tired of not getting a little more dressed up and putting on some make up.  Finally one last disadvantage
is, on weekends I find myself wanting to not only get out of the house by run run run as fast as I can out of the house.  The kids are not happy with the running they have been up and dressed all week for school and would love a PJ day!!

Have a good day!!!
