Work at Home Mom

It has been 2 months since I started working (freelancing) from home. It has worked well and I am loving every minute of it.

Working at Home allows me to be flexible with my time and daily activities, as long as I meet my freelancing deadline. I am free to decide whether I want to put off work until later just because the weather is too nice to spend my time inside the house. I am free to get away from the 4-walls of my home office and, with my laptop in tow, work from Starbucks. Did I tell you that I am loving every minute of it?

It has also given me the chance to finally spend more time with my sons. I can now attend my 3-year old's kindergarten programs which are normally scheduled at 4pm. I am now free to say 'yes' to my son's request to spend the day at the playground. Did I tell you that I am loving every minute of it?

Working from home also means that I can now afford to stay up and work during my most productive hours -- 10pm to 3am. Which also means that I can also now nap during the noon whilst my 3-month old is sleeping. Did I tell you that I am loving every minute of it?

Don't get me wrong. I have not been playing hooky the whole time. I have been meeting my deadlines despite the freedom which I have been enjoying. Self-Discipline plays a major role. Yes, I procrastinate but only when I can afford it. Yes, I spend more time with my family but that does not mean that I am not putting in hours for work.

My transition from "working mom" to "work at home mom" was easy. I just hope that I could say the same when it is finally time to go back to the 9-5 daily grind. I'd probably be hurting when that happens.

But for now, I am enjoying every minute of it. Oh yea... I told you already.
