Q: Going to Stay Home
asked by: sillyakchick on August 29th, 2007

Well, I am gettin glaid off in October and I am going to freelance form home for a bit and see how it goes. the thing is, I am going to have Hannah home with me. I am excited, but a little bit nervous. First off, she can be a real pain to deal with, and there are days I am totally thankful for daycare. Secondly, I don't know how I am going to deal with a lack of adult interaction. Thirdly, I really DO plan to WORK on some prjects from home, so i am worried about how I am going to be able to get anything done with hurricane Hannah being needy and all. I would love some advice from those of you who are doing it. I have been working in medicine for so long, this is going to be a huge thing for me to switch. It's so hectic at work withthe phone ringing all the time and tracking down drug seeking patients etc, I feel really---I dunno, needed? Useful? And at the end of the day I have all these satisfied patients. How do you get stuff done without loding your mind? I never really pictured myself in this role.

Does she take a nap during the day? maybe you could get a lot done at that time if she does, and once shes in bed at night. What job is it you will be doing?

She still naps twice a day, thankfully. i am going to be working on finishing my cookbook, writing content for my website, and developing gluten free products. Also hopefully doing some consulting work for newly diagnosed celiacs. Oh and getting a pedicure!! Very Happy

I put an ad up on the CSU website for part time sitter. I will see what happens. If I can have someone there three mornings a week or something, then I think i would be fine. That would give me like 6 hours of work time each day, plus time to play too!
