A few months ago I got it in my head that what I love to do and went to school for could easily be done from home. I read the proper books, did online research, and brushed up on my grammar and communication skills. What I thought could be easy was proven difficult by a very active five year old little girl. Whenever I try to type a blog I get one sentence done and then find myself being called away from the computer to become a child in my daughter's make believe classroom. Hours later I try to write another sentence. This can go on all day. What is funny is that I figured that once she became five years old it would be easier to do other things in my life...boy, was I wrong. If I can only get a paragraph of a blog out a couple times a week...I don't think working from home in Communications is going to pan out. How can I complain about spending my days as a princess or playing the Angry Birds card game for hours. I wouldn't trade her wildness for anything. I do truly commend working mom's out there--whether they work outside the home or not. My dream to transition into a working mom will come with time--kindergarten is just around the corner!

Work from home..ummm..not so much

Cherish those moments of pretend. I know you do. For a five year old becomes a 15 year old in the blink of an eye. And in another blink they are 25! If we could only slow down time to suit our desires!
ReplyDeleteI do cherish them. I love being with her everyday. At least I can do my photography from home and call that 'my own little something'.
DeleteI have so been there with both my five year old and my three year old. They only stay little for too small of a time thought :) New follower, found you on MBC! Have a great evening! You can find me at

I'll be sure to follow you back! Thanks! Yes, they are small for a short time. I do feel lucky to be at home with her and blessed to have a husband who works hard. Time flies...5 years has felt like nothing!
DeleteI totally understand! I have a 5, 13, and 15 year old and I sell my handmade crafts online. There's never enough time to get my work done, but that's o.k. Well, I'm off to play Monopoly Jr. with my 5 year old. I'm a new follower from MBC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following! I get a little frustrated I don't have a lot of me time..but then I stop and realize this time in her life won't be here for long.
