I knew that when I had my first child that I would want to be a stay at home mom. I wanted to be with my child all the time. I am not very good at trusting other people with my children. I always have this fear of what if this happens or this happens, then what would they do. I just cannot shake the feeling that the care giver would not be able to care after them properly. I am a paranoid parent. I cannot really change this, so the solution is to work from home.

The only problem with working from home is that you do not always get the work done. I have little people calling me all day long for this and that. They do not see a difference in me working and just being there. This can really create a problem if I have a time line that I need to finish a particular project that I might be working on. It can be really stressful sometimes, and during these times I often wish that I was in a quiet office doing my work. This would defeat my purpose though.

I normally try to get most of my work done during the all important nap time. This usually works out great, but there are those days when nothing seems to go right. On these days, I will usually try to line out a few activities that they can do on their own. I will give them things that do not require my attention the entire time that they are playing.
