101 Days to Go & Not Much Progress
Wow, who would have thought adding a third child to the mix would have impacted my available work from home time the way it has?!?
I must say that adding a newborn son to our family has certainly monopolized most of my free time. I thought having a seven year old son and a five year old daughter was getting to be pretty manageable, but not any more.
Unfortunately for that reason, I really don't think I'll be able to begin my attempt to work from home in earnest until I actually find myself home for 8 hours a day.
To that end, I've updated my resume and sent it off for review in preparation to circulate it in the near future.
I guess I'm not a work from home purist, but I need to take whatever steps are necessary to provide for the well being of my family and if that means taking a regular 9 to 5'er so be it.
I have learned a great deal though and am continuing my research. I'll try to compile it all into a legible framework soon.
Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to share this with anyone who might be interested!

hahahahahah. Infants are amazing time sinks for something that sleeps 12+hours a day. At least you're not actually nursing :) Mine never would take a bottle, so working from home wasn't really optional.
I worked from home for over 6 months doing technical writing and project management after the birth of my first, and I've been doing remote contract work off and on myself ever since. I have to say that the infant phase was much easier to work through than the toddler years just because I could keep the infant in a sling while he nursed and that freed up two hands to type!
I've applied for a Teletech@home position, and they'be responded. I'm not holding out high hopes for a great salary. This is mostly to rebuild our emergency fund/my IRA with something steadier than my little contract jobs.
