Working From Home


This is what is looks like to work from home! I've been working on a freelance assignment, and the only way for me to get anything done is to wait for Balian to fall asleep while I'm holding him on the recliner. Once asleep, I wedge him between my legs and the armrest. Then I put the laptop on the other armrest and get to work (and no, by "work" I don't mean playing on Facebook and blog-stalking my family!)


It's hard to tell, but my legs are under that blanket -- I've taken the photo from above my head. And to complete the scenario, the dog is also under the blanket, right on top of Balian's head.

If I put him in his bed or the bouncer to take a nap, he wakes right up. The little stinker. But if I keep him right next to me, he'll sleep just long enough for me to write a couple of paragraphs. And speaking of that....he's waking up now!

So by "working" you mean updating your blog and by "working from home" you mean staying in your PJs all day. It sounds just like MY job!!
