my crazy day

Well the promotion that my company was having ended today and here is how my day went.

-My 1st grader had a Christmas play at 8am and this is the one day that the boys decided to sleep past 6:30. We fought traffic in the rain and made it in time to see most of it.
-Stopped by the grocery on the way home and left the umbrella at home = one drenched mommy, boys, and groceries.
-Called my mentor and received a call from someone who is thinking about starting a business - she had more questions...
-While I was on this call, the boys worked very hard at emptying out all the bedding chips out of our new guinea pig's cage all over our carpet. Spent the next 20 minutes vacuuming and moving the new pet to the kitchen.
-Sent out a few text messages and checked my email. Responded to a few questions about my business
-Lunch time and dirty diapers. The boys only wanted the gummy bugs out of their kids cuisine tray and picked at the rest.
-Tried twice to get my two year old to nap - made a phone call inbetween attempts.
-Called a new business partner to see if I could do anything to help and ended up talking for a half hour. The boys now decided to dump out all the guinea pigs food and mix it into the bedding...
-Picked up my daughter from school and finally got my two year old to nap after we got home.
My husband had brought home one of these bakugan toys from school to show my son and the boys both wanted it and fought terribly all night until he finally ended up taking them to target to buy some more.
-I stayed home with my daughter for bath, homework, story, bed...
-2 loads of laundry later and I am finally sitting down at the computer to do a little advertising and send out a newsletter to my team.

This is what the life of a work at home mom is really like. I work whenever I get the time to. Even though there is always something going on around the house, I work phone calls and emails into my day. It is great to stay home with the kids and even more wonderful to not have to miss them or pay for daycare, but you do have to be a pretty good muli-tasker and be self motivated to make it work.
