Okay, that picture KILLS me! How cute is she?

You crack me up – and I can sympathize with the POOPING. Gawd – is it really THAT hard to figure out? B will do it in her pants, no problem, but on the potty? Hells to the no… argh! If you figure out a solution, pretty please to pass it on to us —

Oh dear Lord…that sounds like each and every day of my life.

I was secretly hoping for awhile that you would continue to work from home so someone could figure out how to make this work, because frankly, I suck at it. I’ve been doing it since October and my 2.5 year old runs rampant while I try to focus, or if I’m on a conference call.

I come out and check on her every 20-30 minutes and on a good day, she has dumped each and every toy out in the living room and gets an unhealthy amount of TV. The worst day? She covered herself in vegetable oil. Head to toe. We have also survived a red jello incident, permament marker all over the walls, carpet, and entertainment center — oh, and the day of the FlaxSeed. (shudder.)

Just know that I love these posts because it makes me feel so very less alone.

My Dad used to ask me about if I would like to go to bring your daughter to work day (my dad works for a telecomms company and they trying to encourage more girls to want to work in the field) but somehow he’d always forget to organise with his manager and get my mum to write a note to school.

I now work in customer service for a safe company.

Do you ever wonder about the children of moms who successfully work from home? What they do? I have a hard time even checking email when the little man and I are at home alone. You gotta give it to NikkiZ, though–she is incredibly cute with that backpack!

I think the “doing whatever you want so long as it doesn’t kill us” approach is pretty brilliant.

I have a hard enough time trying to get work done at home with a dog, let alone a little human being.

Good luck!!

Oh, I’ve been there! My boys are now 10 and 7 and I still refuse to bring them into work with me on those infamous “Bring Your Child to Work” days because I know I’d get nothing done. NOTHING.

When I’m working at home, I get so little done that I usually give up after the first thirty minutes. The constant “Mom”ming every five seconds makes it impossible to focus.

Hopefully you’ll get through your must-do tasks without too much trouble, but I’m not counting on it…
