MoJo Mommy

It's every working mom's dream to find a job she can do from home and make money. We've all considered assembling products from home. shipping stuff from our garage, or selling novelties on EBay. The thing is I think you'd still need a nanny if you were working from home on a full-time basis. I tried to use home as my MoJo base today. Hubby and the kids were here but I figured I could probably multi-task well enough that it would work. I sat down at 10 a.m. armed with notes and for two mojo stories. As soon as the boys heard the zippers of the oddly heavy back pack they were at my feet. "Whatcha doin mom? Can I take a picture? Do you need this pen? Draw draw draw." Fine, take my pen. Just "hush mommy is working." "Mom, can I have some milk?" "Mom, did you hear me?" 'HE TOOK MY PEN MOMMMEEEEE HE TOOK MY PEN" Then the screaming turned into a wrestling match over the pen. The loser started crying hysterically. Luckily my husband came, put the boy's shoes on and took them outside. I started writing again. The phone rang. A visitor popped in. I saw the neighbor lady eying my house considering the pop in I'm sure. I wrote and I wrote while I tried to block all this hecticness out. It was hard. I warmed some soup on the stove but kept writing. I had to get my work done and off the kitchen table before lunch. That's a lot of pressure. When I left to pursue another story, Jonas cried. Every single time I leave he cries. So, working from home I get the joy of leaving him in tears multiple times a day. There have been shoes to tie. Diapers to change. And, I had help today. Even as I write this I've sat the boys in front of Bob The Builder just to get a few more minutes of work in. I think "working" from home is pretty much a pipe dream for me. Tomorrow I'm going back to Enstroms.
