March Break and the Work at Home Mom
Tue, Mar 11, 2008
March break and working home doesn't really go together, or does it?
In fact, it is times like this that we can really shine at being a work at home mom.
We can take full advantage of having the kids at home, focus on home and the kids for the week, and we don't get fired!
Using the week or two before for prep time will make it smoother, but if you get a new outlook today, don't worry.
Just switch gears today and enjoy the week with your kids.
Today's podcast is about just that.

Oh the spelling. Maybe it was better before I knew her through email! But she's having a great time. She called and laughed because they were at the beach sunning and a guy walked by in a sweater and said "you girls must be from Canada, it's freezing!".
Considering that our temps were -25 the night she was gone, that's tree popping cold, I'd say they were soaking up the sun!
She promises pictures, so I am hoping to post some when she gets back.
Enjoy your break! Even if you have to use your bath tub for the ocean. That's what I'm doing .
I plan to take a week’s vacation next week right along with my son. We have tons of plans and I knew I wouldn’t get any work done anyway!

Swimming in march? I would die. I guess I have to think that way being from Utah.
