I just found this picture on my camera and I can’t tell you how indicative it is of our normal day. Let me point out things just in this picture that tell of my day:
- I have two computers in front of me. Yes, I check up on personal email and stuff while I work throughout the day.
- I’m in my pajamas. Actually, I’m in my bathing suit with my pajamas on top. We had just gone swimming. My hair is wet here and I have no makeup on. That is pretty typical at least in the mornings for me. For the summers, it’s typical that I don’t get a shower until after I’m done working at 4. There’s just no point when we swim at lunch time and then sometimes in the evenings.
- Lexi’s hair is falling out. I’m really bad at fixing my girls’ hair on a daily basis. Normally I can get myself to brush through Emma’s hair but for Lexi, she screams when I do it, so I usually just leave it alone when it’s in a ponytail until it is in really bad shape as it is in this picture.
- Lexi’s dress is not buttoned. Lexi loves wearing dresses. Sometimes multiple ones per day. And I’m just too lazy to do the buttons. If you don’t believe me about the dresses. Let me show you how many dresses I washed TODAY of theirs. Usually, I wait a few weeks to wash all the dresses at once.
- My breakfast is still sitting on my desk. Yes, this is why Scott, Mr. OCD, goes insane with me around sometimes.
- My hot pink high heels are lying on the ground. The girls love to walk in my shoes and that pair just didn’t get put up yet.
- Emma is writing. She loves to write and color. Especially on my printer paper. In this case, she was writing a recipe. I would not want to try it.
- But most importantly, the 3 of us are together and I’m working. And that’s why I love working at home and even if there on top of me, dishes aren’t up, shoes are lying around, Emma’s making a mess coloring, I don’t get a shower until 5, I LOVE IT!
It’s super sweet how your girls gather around you while you try to work on the computer. My girls have become independent women and find their own things to do. I miss that. Treasure it.

Just be glad you have someone with ocd around to keep on top of things. Both my husband and I are sloppy so it is a constant struggle.

I always say it’s good to have him around because our house would be disaster city half the time without him but I think we drive each other crazy sometimes!
I work for a large bank. I’m a computer programmer for their Insurance department. I started out in the office but went WAH when we moved to another city and they asked me to continue to work. When I came back, no one ever asked me to come back to the office so I haven’t
