Really Crackin' Down

Share

As many of you know, I work from home as an online contractor. I work when I want for however long I want. The only issue with this is sometimes I just don't feel like working and I have nobody to give me that extra push. A couple nights ago I finally gave myself the push I needed. I have since fully completed two contracts and I'm now working on two others I have going currently. One is a bit more fun that the other. I have to literally threaten myself to get myself to work on the other one. The topics I have been getting lately are just sooo boring! However, I do need the money.

Another problem I find myself running into is time. If I could work eight hours straight, I could make a lot. However, having a newborn and a toddler doesn't really lend itself to that. Sweet Pea is always getting into something and Lil' Bean always wants to be held. I get most of my work done during naps and bedtime. However, lately I've been having trouble focusing because Sweet Pea seems to want to protest bedtime every night. Hopefully that will end soon. Last night he fought bedtime for three hours before he finally went to sleep. He didn't really cry. He mainly played. Specifically, he was using his crib as a trampoline. All I heard was bouncy bouncy boom squeal.

I am almost positive I am not the only WAHM. How do you manage being mommy and working from home? How do you motivate yourself?
