The Work-At-Home Work Schedule

I'm not supposed to work on Friday's. It's a rule I've been trying to institute into my schedule. Friday's I'm supposed to don my mommy/maid hat. I'm not doing to good of a job. I always to a little bit of work on Fridays.

I really like what I do so much, that I'd rather blog, write, work on email, coach etc. than do laundry, clean the litter box, vacuum and mop. Who wouldn't?

A cleaning person is going to be at the top of my list...as soon as I stop being so frugal. Which is an ironic statement. Those that truly know me, know that I'm not really frugal. I aspire to be frugal so, I find areas with which I'm OK with being frugal. Right now, I'm OK with cleaning my own house, poorly too, I might add.

Back to my "not working on Friday's" topic. I'm currently trying to multi-task which is not working. It never does. I managed to get a load in the wash but that was a couple hours ago and it still sits there while I type.

You might wonder why I'm making myself crazy over it and why I'm even instituting this rule.

Corporate America did this to me!

In my previous job, I LOVED it. I had a great time, I worked hard and I felt I was living my life's purpose (to some extent). However, every Friday after I got off work, I would get off the train from the city, walk up the giant hill at my station while thinking: "Why on Earth do I spend FIVE days at work and TWO days at home with my children?" And that's how it went, Friday, after Friday, after Friday until I got laid off.

Now, that I'm in more control and even though I should be putting massive amounts of hours to get the EPMA relaunch going sooner rather than later - I'm going to do it on my own terms. That means I have to take Friday's off.

On the lucky side of things - It's currently nap time so kids aren't loosing out, I'm about to eat my lunch, this doesn't have to be long and I just had a nice time sharing.

I love being an entrepreneur.

Have a great weekend everyone! I'll get back to work on Monday. I promise!
