1) 10:00 am shower...early today!
2) Yes...walked the dogs @ 4:15 pm.
3) Yes, if walking the dogs and driving kids to school counts as leaving the house!
4) 7:15 am. As soon as the lunches are made and girls out the door, I sit w/coffee and start emails.
5) Client work, 5:30 ish. My own research, marketing...9:00 ish.
6) Yes! Though they were pajama pants until shower @ 10. LOL!
7) Yes. I’m blessed with a houseful of teens whom I tease, and the dogs like when I talk to them during the day. Husband will talk to me on occasion, too. ;-)
8) I could, but then I’d have to put on makeup!
9) Yep. I AM getting older.
10) No. I like what I do, just want to make more money at it!

1. 7:30am
2. Yes, Twice. Took my kids to school and met my wife for lunch.
3. Yes
4. 9 am, but definatly wished I would've formulated a plan.
5. 5pm, but felt the need to get back online before bed.
6. Pants are on but didn't find the need to change them after spilling coffee on them at 10am
7. Yes, but only one.
8. Well, I do live in Mora sooooooo not much of anything more interesting to go to. :)
9. Yes, and it scares me everytime I notice how much hair I'm losing.
10. I love what I do but wish I could get to a point where I don't worry everyday about how I'm going to pay the bills or worry about the development of my kids living in an apartment above our business. I know money doesn't solve problems but the lack of it does slow down progress. Not to mention the feeling that government loves to kick small businesses in the b _ _ _ s. I'm not bitter just frustrated.

hahaha! The pants one made me laugh. I have days like that. LOL!

The lack of contact with the outside world can be awful at times. Thankfully, I work out with a trainer 3 days a week so I don't end up losing my MIND! Most weekends I am either going somewhere to stay with friends/family or someone is coming over. I need to have face to face conversations after being cooped up all week.

I wish I could work at Caribou at times, but continuous conference calls keep me shackled to the home office. Boooooooooo!

But would I change it?? NOT FOR THE WORLD! Love working at home!

P.S. stopped working at 11 PM??? Insane!
