Christmas break was long. I mean, really looooooooooooong. The kids AND my husband were here for two weeks, all day….every day.
Yes I love my family……blah blah blah.
Of course I do. They are precious, unique and loving.
And I of course…..am all those things as well. BUT – when you’re not used to being around people…..any people, everyday….all day – it kind of wears on you.
And my kids had several friends over during break. My son had kids over here constantly….lots of them. It was like a fraternity or something. And we had friends over. And there was Christmas celebrations and New Year celebrations. I felt like Julie the Cruise Director.
You don’t know who Julie the Cruise Director is??
Jesus….
Anyway…
It wears on my brain. All these people and their questions. My husband, son and daughter ask a lot of questions. Where’s my hair brush? Where’s my cellphone? Where’s my butt? What’s for dinner? Why can’t I?
Geeesh….what is this??? Some kind of reality show where they just try to make you crack? I live here…..but I am NOT lost and found, tech support, matride or concierge……
OH Lord….flashbacks…..lets not go back to the two weeks of vacation. Lets move forward to today, Wednesday.
So everyone went back to school and work Monday. And I got busy catching up on everything here in my office. MoneyMakingMommy.com is my main website and very time consuming. Hunting for work at home jobs and writing new content, working on SEO…..MoneyMakingMommy is 80% of what I do.
So I work…..and work…..and work…..and before I know it….it’s time to pick up the kids. I come home, work more, make dinner and work til 2am.
Tuesday I get up around 9:00 and work all day again…..same scenario.
There are no groceries. I need to go to the bank.
And today…..Wednesday…I’ve noticed……I need to take a shower. When did I take my last shower? Did I take one Monday?? I don’t remember?
So at this point…..I’ve taken working at home too far. Even the dog and kittens are staying away from me. I smell of “ode de workaholic”.
So I bid you adieu for the day. I am going to go wash up….feel alive again.
So take this as a warning…..being a home based business mom has it’s drawbacks. For one….those people you live with are sometimes home for days, weeks….try and be friendly.
And even though you may not notice your stinky self – you stink. Go take a shower. I don’t care if no one has seen you for days and no one will see you for days. Wash. What if the UPS man shows up by chance?? Do you really want him reporting to the police that a troll like, big foot like (have you shaved your legs lately?), angry witch came to the door??
Now…..where is my hair brush??
