Finding Time For Work

It's been a week since I started working from the comforts of my very own home.

I never realized exactly how difficult working and taking care of my tiny trio could be.

Granted, most of us have had the flu over the course of the past week, so my day has been peppered with trips to the doctor and to the pharmacy to fetch medication.

That's not taking into account that I was one of the ones actually sick most of last week!

It's not been easy trying to juggle and balance everything. I do know that if I were actually working at a jobsite, that I would have had to call in all of last week, though.

I thought that it might get better now that we are not feeling as green as we had been last week, but today hasn't been much of an improvement.

It seems that anything that CAN go wrong, basically has. Even so, I did manage to get in a few phone calls for family business this morning.

I even managed to fax documents to one poor unsuspecting lady.

I do not have a good grasp on faxing from my son's laptop.

I was able to talk to the fax recipient, though, and I am proud to say that everything actually did go through!

And I only had to extract my son's from the sandbox that we normally call the fireplace upon three separate occasions.

I even managed to unearth the buried cars and wash and dry them in a decent timeframe to avoid too many tears being shed.

We only went through three sets of pajama's today. Adding in the two sets from yesterday, I need to remind myself to do laundry in anticipation of tomorrow's antics.

Somehow, Vivienne managed to stay clean, but that doesn't mean that she was by any means good!

She has somehow managed to screech the banshee howl all day long, almost nonstop.

I really have learned that there is something to be said for having an office to retreat to.

I suppose I could find a nook somewhere in my house for a home-office, but then I would have to sound proof it, and make it some sort of invisible door that only I can locate!

Thankfully, an incentive arrived in today's mail for me today. Getting paid is always a good thing!

Maybe I will get the hang of all this balancing tomorrow, who knows!
