Working from Home

I have been working at home one day a week this year. It has been a really good experience so far. Here are some things that I have observed.

* It is really quiet in my house! Not having the office noise and co-workers to talk to makes the day very quiet. I usually turn on music to not go crazy from the silence.
* I would not be able to work 8 am to 5 pm at home with kids. There is no way a baby, toddler or pre-schooler would sit still for 9 hours. So working from home with kids would look and work very differently.
*** NO I AM NOT PREGNANT****
* Skype, cell phone, and e-mail make communicate very easy.
* I am able to throw a load of laundry in while working. I use my lunch break to clean house or cook dinner. It has made managing work and home easier.
* Working at home takes a lot of self motivation.
