Is There Such A Thing?

Being a Wahm, kids, and having a schedule...Is there such a thing?


Well I have to say that being a Wahm has been the best career choice of all!! I never thought that working from home could be so rewarding. I know that alot has to do with the support that I receive from all the other moms that are a part of the same team. However, I must say is it possible to stick to a schedule each day with small children in the house?? For me it is the biggest challenge that I have found in working from home! I am not sure how others do it. I feel like I am running in circles from juggling naps, feeding times, play time, of most of all the "I want my mommy time!" Which for a one year old seems to be all the time!! I try very hard to involve my daughter in what I do each day. She has her own lap top and a phone where she can pretend she is doing just what mommy is doing. Believe me I am amazed to watch her walk around with the phone propped on her shoulder pretending to talk to others. For me it is trying to keep a balance between work and family, but I feel with little ones you just try to make the most of the time you get!  I know there are many other Wahms that go through the same strugggles each day and I am very curious to know just how they do it!!!  For all of us when the say comes to an end we can rest assure that atleast we had the opportunity to spend those challenging times with our babies! That is why we are doing this to begin with!

If you stick to a schedule then it is totally possible.  I know many people that do it.  However, I am not a structured person, so it wasn't possible for me.  lol  Especially since my kids quit taking naps around 1.

Mine are older, but with my work I have to be more structured.  I can't miss clients appointments.  lol  I can not live without my planner and I'm looking at it many times a day.  Try to schedule things out as much as possible with flexibility of course.
