Why I love working from home !
By Darina • Jun 9th, 2008 • Category: For WannabesI was reading a great blog post by my pal Kelly McCausey, about Work at Home Mums complaining about the WAH lifestyle. She was making the point that you could visit a forum where you have lots of Mums, just dying to work from home and trying to find different ideas and opportunities, and on the same forum there might be a thread of existing WAHMs complaining about the WAH lifestyle ! for various reasons.
She wants to encourage all work at home Mums to practice an attitude of gratitude for their position as a WAHM. Taking a minute now and then to consider all the reasons you have to be grateful for your work at home lifestyle - then take another minute and share what you are
grateful for with others.
I agree fully with her, we should take the time to remember what is great about working from home, even on those days when it’s driving us demented remember working outside the home does that too!! (probably more often)
So here are a couple of reasons why I love working from home; I love having no commute in the mornings, being able to drop the kids to school, go for quick swim and still be at my desk by 9.30 (my kids start school at 8.20 just in case u think that was too speedy !)
I love not having to feel guilty if I need a day off for whatever reason - or just want a day off for no reason ! I love being the only one who is in charge of my pay rises.. and how much I can earn. I love being able to work when and where I want (it’s a beautiful day today and I’m in the garden on my laptop); I love being able to be there when the kids come home from school and being able to pick them and up and volunteer for playground duty (ok i don’t always like that bit !!)
Sometimes it is tough and I have to confess there are times when I wished I was going out to work and then coming home ! BUT those times are few and far between and mostly I am very grateful for being able to have this lifestyle.
Kelly is offering a prize to anyone who puts down their reasons for loving working at home on their blog and puts a link back to her post, so here’s what I’ll do, if I’m lucky enough to win the prize, I will put the names of everyone who comments on this post with their reasons
of why they love working at home and I will pass the prize on to whoevers name I pull out of the hat !
So come on - tell the world why you love working from home
