It's Monday, Again..

When you are a work from home Mom, sometimes the weekends are just plain out of control. Everyone is home, everyone needs something, so many more chores to do, plus when you work from home you rarely get a day off.

I know alot of people dread Mondays and trust me when I was in the "out of your house" work force so did I. I remember relaxing on the weekends, leisurely catching up on chores, doing fun things, going out to eat etc. Ha, those days are long gone. I am not complaining though, I love working from home. I LOVE my little crafty shop. The things I don't love..not that you asked but in case you are considering joining the growing numbers of work from homers with Etsy Shops:

• You will work more hours then you ever worked at your "real" job
• The pay is considerably less
• You might be working from home, but don't forget their are your "at home" jobs to do: cooking, cleaning, etc. Whatever your chores were before, will still be your chores.
• Dealing with spouses and children that don't understand the huge amounts of time that you have to spend in front of a computer screen. (thankfully mine were already used to it :)) 
• Scheduling, meeting deadlines and being responsible for your own marketing, advertising and customer service. 

That being said, I do love my job. It's hard to think I do after I just stated all those facts but I do. It does provide me with some degree of flexibility and for that I am thankful. I enjoy being able to go to my daughters sporting events and being here when she leaves and gets home from school. She will be 18 in just over a month and I will be the parent of an adult and just as I typed that I died a little inside :(

Anyways, see how easy it is for me to get off track! Back to Mondays. I love Mondays! It means that I have my house back, my hubby is back at work, typically Haley is back at school and I can get my chores done in peace and work my business for a few hours without constant interruption!
