Working from home

I work from home 4 of 5 days a week. I happen to have an awesome boss that allows me to telecommute. I go into the office once a week so they can bug me in person. If I couldn't do it, I might think of doing something else to work at home online. I'm spoiled now. I like working in my jammies if I have to. I like being her for L when she wants me and being here for C when she gets home from school to bug her about her homework and help her make a healthy snack instead of eating junk.

Working at home is not as easy as it seems. A huge amount of discipline is needed. It's so easy to get sucked into doing things other than work! Before L was born, I used to get up, shower and be at my desk by 8:30 - just like when I was going into the office. My schedule is a bit different now - I'm up earlier, but I manage to get my 8 hours in each day. The great thing, is that if I don't quite manage it during "traditional" working hours, I can make it up in the evening after the kiddos are in bed. Overall, I really do like being able to work at home online. (sponsored by work at home net guides)
