Husband for sale - harder to work with him home than the grandkids. (sm)
He is cleaning our furnace and muttering, muttering, hollering where is this, I bet I have got up and went in there 4 times this morning to just have him mutter never mind I found it.
You gotta love them, but he of all people should know my money comes from my butt being in that chair.
Does your husband or significant other do this? Just now, at 7:30, my husband came home from sm
playing sports with a friend. After showering he comes downstairs naked and tries to start a conversation with me. My "office" is in the living room and he is standing in back of the couch so I can't see any private parts, just him without his shirt, but I can see enough to know he clearly is naked! I think he wants me to be amused or get turned on or something, but I'm not amused one bit. In fact, I keep working and basically ignore him.
Poor guy. I swear he thinks he's Vince Vaughn or something. I should at least smile at him but all I want to tell him is to put some clothes on! ugh!
I know- why don't I work at home instead??
My priorities are in line. Money is not my priority right now, my children are. Nobody must love you, do they? poor thing! Wonder why?
Try this too....tell them you work at home if you do
It saved me 50% on my premium just for that! Some companies do not do this but others do. Maybe try finding an insurance agency close by where they can shop for the best rate.
I work from home sm
and even without distractions there are a few days when I can't concentrate at all. I contribute it to burn-out, luckily after a good work out, a short call to a dear friend, or a wonderful piece of chocolate cake I can motivate myself to get the work done.
Do you work at home?
Maybe he is afraid of interrupting your work.
I just got home from work and
checked the board to find all these kind responses. It means so much to me that we have this love of our pets and can share the sorrow of their loss.
Here is another picture of CJ and Sasha and me at one of our favorite parks:
If you work at home -- how come so much gas
If you work at home, maybe these
feelings have nothing to do with your husband and marriage, but everything to do with your job. Being at home so many hours, every day being mostly the same can really make a person feel nutty.
Just a thought. 
just because you work at home
None of my daughter's friend's mothers work. Since I work at home it looks to them like I don't work either. I have to schedule my kids things to do when I work, just like people who work outside the home. This whole lazy days of summer thing does not really apply to me and my bored kids can really come after me while I am on the computer all day.
DH and his little gnome just got home from work...
and I was informed, with a big grin, that paybacks are heck! 
Do you fix a schedule and work to it at home?
Do you fix a schedule and work to it at home?
If you are working from home like me, housework always seems to interrupt work. The doorbells, the children, the cups of tea etc etc.
I have tried working to a schedule but never managed to do so.
Kids at home while you work? How do you (sm)
make sure they know you are "at work" even though you are right there? I have worked at home in the past but had issues with this. Mine are old enough now to be home while I work (10 & 7), but I would love any ideas of how to make sure they respect my work hours. Any ideas?
Reminds me of the work at my home
I was on the back and asked person inside to catch the front door as I was busy. They had just started building home next door, had not even poured the foundation and was asking for some water. I said no, the store just up the street and being as husband was in the contracting business, I knew he usually took his help big water containers with them. In a short while at front of house, blinds drawn but noticed movement outside the window and they had the water on outside and stealing my water- I called the police. Really ticked me off.
I understand !!! - From a Work at Home Mom
WOW! 3 sets of twins....
My 2 are years apart, however my 4 years old is a handful let me tell you. Of course she is also the joy of my life. However, trying to work at home with her can be interesting at times. I get a kick out of people that say they want to "Work at home" to be "home with kids". LOL Little do they realize at times they will need to call in help or work when they are in school, or asleep or nap times. :-)
It can be hard to hear a Dr. Dictation with a 3 or 4 year old throwing a fit because they did not get their way or pulling on your arm because they want you to STOP NOW and play.
Of course family time and personal time is very important when working at home and we all need to remember that one. (smile)
I know my biggest dilemma in working at home was getting others to realize I really AM working at home and not just at home. I would get calls from friends, family, etc. wanting me to run to the store, get chores done, go to eat brunch, etc. When I would say that I had to get my work done they would be like - "well you can set your own time right, work anytime". Yes, you can set your own schedule most times, however like any job I had a deadline and that meant working when I could get the quiet time to do so. lol.
Once they saw it was a REAL job then they did start to respect it more. Yet, it did take me brining in my first few checks for them to realize it. Now, I let phone calls go to voice mail unless it is important when working and let others know when I am working so they try to not call during those times.
I think all women and men that start working at home go through something like this at first.
BTW - A friend told me about a great site that is having a Christmas in July Sale if you want to visit it: www.gift-outlet-shopping.com
I found some great deals there. ;-) God Bless.

Here is another site that I found useful in getting a work at home job before I became a Medical Transcriptionist. It is called Work @ Home Affiliation at: www.workathomeaffiliation.com
Hope they become useful to you, and no I do not get anything for recommending them. I am just another work at home mom that likes to recommend sites that I find useful just like my friend did when she sent me the Christmas in July Store link.
Have a great week!

I was driving home from work..sm
got the tail end of the report, mostly just that he'd been taken to the hospital, but the somber tone of voice made me realize pretty quickly that he had died. VERY sad day for me, I've always been a fan.
Went out at 4:00 a.m., home by 6:30 a.m., started work at 8:00 a.m. (nm)

A home, so I can settle down and work.

nothing! I work at home and have no one to impress!!!
I have this stupid acne probelm and have been trying to fix it with everything and just gave up!!! Sometimes I wear night cream and eye cream. I never had acne as a teenager and now in my mid 20s it is horrible!!! I CANT BELIEVE YOU CAN AFFORD SMASHBOX or SEPHORA!!! On my little MT salary I can afford Wet and Wild or maybe buy one get one free Cover Girl or Maybelline!!! LOL!!!
Staying at home and sleeping it in. Have to be at work at
4:30 a.m. on New Year's Day.
For a work-at-home MT? I'd say a couple of days max.
I've always been one to work when I'm sick. When you're working at home, you can take frequent breaks and lie down if you need to. I had a staph infection in my ankle, had to have it debrided, was in the hospital for a week and worked on my laptop from the hospital bed. Came home from the hospital, and didn't miss a beat. Of course, I was doing strictly QA then, so not a lot of pedal work, just list4ening to blanks and stuff.
With lap procedures, the point is less recovery time. Plus you consider the sedentary nature of our work, really there's no reason why we can't go right back to work. It's not like we're doing any heavy lifting.
The only thing that would require we take time off from work would be some sort of hand or arm ailment.
If they ask your husband to work he can ...sm
refuse and cite religious reasons, and they'll have to let him take it off.
I'd advise everyone I knew in the area to call/write the chain and tell them that you are not happy that they'll be open on Christmas day and will be boycotting their store because of this. Like you said, there's nothing so urgent on Christmas Day that people HAVE to go to a grocery store !
Working at home/husband issues - do you think(sm)
Do you think they are jealous because we work at home or that they somehow picture us at home having the day off every day and getting pad for it - so they wonder why the house isn't perfect, etc.? Because I am constantly extremely busy between work and my kids and trying to get things done around the house but I think my husband thinks I should be able to get everything done since I am here. I don't think he was as bad when I worked in an office.
Help! Pushy parents think I work from home and can drive their kids etc
I am constantly being asked to watch people's kids because I work from home. The latest is a friend of my son attending the same camp in another town. The friend I will call Scotty. Scotty has two parents. His father works from home as a computer consultant. My friends and I have called Scotty's dad to work on our computers and he never even returns the call or shows up. Scotty's mom recently asked me if I could drive her son home from them because the dad gets busy and doesn't like to leave clients. I told her that I too am working from home and have to minimize my time in the car. Scotty does not live close to us. I feel like a big meanie but they have pushed me before. Last year our kids were not even in the same camp but the mom called and asked if I would drive and pick up her son every day because i live in the same town as the camp. I was like ??? no way.
They used to drop Scotty off at my house on school holidays. They would drop him off at 7 AM and then once the mom called me at 5 PM and said she wanted to get an oil change and asked me if I could keep scotty until 7:30 PM. I said NO and then she came to pick him up earlier but stayed at my house uninvited until 9:30 when I just said I HAVE TO GO TAKE A SHOWER.
Anyone have clever ways to handle these situations?
Work at home, homeschooling a Kindergartner mom is feeling today like sm
the old sayin' goes: Raisin' kids is like being pecked to death by chickens.
Just having one of those days. My 3 year old received a Diego toy that he loves! Unfortunately, his 5 year old brother loves it too! I am off today, thank God. Thinking of taking them to see Mr. Bean's Holiday...Oh the joys of homeschooling...
I LOVE it! On most days..
My husband work midnights until recently.
He would get home at 8 a.m. By then, I had been up and working for a few hours and was ready for a small break. We would talk while I ate breakfast. He would go to bed and I would continue with work. By the time, he got up around 4 or 5 p.m., I would be done working. We were able to spend time with the kids together and have dinner together before he went to work again. He has been on night shift at different times during our marriage, the last time for 4 years. We've never had any problems as far as my working. I just adjust my work time accordingly.
If your husband is sleeping days and your kids are in school, what type of problem are you having getting work done?
And don't forget made the HUSBAND do the MT work
Yeah, I kinda chuckled and figured they had every single report geared to some *lucky* QA person before those report went to the client (at least I hope that's what they did).
I was glad to see an MT on television but the way they kind of acted like anyone could up and fill in for her kind of degraded the profession as a whole.
Glad you work at home and not subjecting people to have to pretend they like working with you.

My husband usually gets a 12,000 bonus every year in March and then takes home around 7 or 8. It IS
sickening - that the Govt. gets that much out of taxes. I hate it. WE are standing behind the Fair Tax for this very reason. Somethings gottah happen. Remember the Boston Tea Party? This govt is just out of control in its spendind. 39% How is one supposed to live when we only bring home 70% of our actual pay? Doesn't that anger some of you?????????????????????????????????????????
Have a friend who used her husband's sticker. He really was disabled and stayed at home (sm)
so therefore she gladly took over use of his tags for her purposes. When he died she was aggravated when they wouldn't renew them a year or so after his death. Guess she thought they were survivor's benefits.
My now deceased husband brought his friend home, now my hubby
Was it love at first sight? Not for me but years later after the death of the previous one, my now husband (he never married, no kids) told me he had loved me from the very first day he saw me. I did not even know he saw me. We are talking 30 more years and the weight, well I will just leave at the 30+ years.
Rainy, cool, dark. Home working with plenty of work. Hubby and kids are sm
picking up toys, taking them to Goodwill. LOVE days like this.
I agree...go to ER immediately. sm
I knew someone who was bitten by a brown recluse. They are extremely venomous spiders and nothing to fool with. The person who was bit experienced skin necrosis for over a year. This was on her face and caused a lot of distress and disfigurement. It is like a flesh eating virus. Do not mess around with this. go to the er soon!!! good luck to you.
You said something that immediately gave you away
you said fixin to- I know what that is because I am southern- we are always fixin to do something, right?
True but then immediately tell someone and have

Stopped immediately when put in hospital
unable to catch my breath, almost white-out of my lungs. Put on Theophylline, steroids, face looked like the man in the moon but the theophylline the worst. I was eating cigs before then. After 2 weeks in the hospital and being on that particular medicine, never wanted to smoke again and didn't - that was in 1998, Thanksgiving Day to be exact, so sick I didn't want the turkey and dressing.
tried duct tape, no go, broke immediately, thanks though, NM

Mine pretty much soaks in immediately but
I have found that if you use a primer it does go on a lot smoother. BE has a face and eye primer that I like a lot. On a side note I just got the eyebrow powder in today and love it!
I would talk immediately to the landlord and complain
about the humidity, the mold/mildew and the musty smell.
A moldy apartment is actually characterized as 'not habitable', as mold and mildew are very harmful to health.
If your landlord does not make efforts to rectify this situation, I definitely think that you have good reasons to break your lease, especially since you are already getting sick.
The reason I knew immediately about the year around tan
was because I was a young lady when President Kennedy was in office and he had Addison's, remember it being discussed. I think enlarged spleen goes along with that also. Hopefully something that can be taken care of and let us hear about what happens. I do so love to play Doctor. I was at death's door today myself (not really) but in my mind, like the poster belows say, know so much and I had hypoechoic lesions on my kidneys and my thoughts were not simple cysts and after the MRI from last week heard that was exactly what they were. Yepee!
I agree also, change vets...ours put our dog on meds immediately. nm

If you mail with bar code showing you get back immediately
love netflix... website is easy, it's cheap, large selection, and if you put the DVD back in the envelope with the bar code showing, it scans at the post office i guess!!! because the next one comes the next day!!!
I am wondering why you didn't immediately call the police
from your cell or if you don't have one go home and call and then stay there with the dog until they arrived? I'm shocked.
All forwards I put in the trash folder immediately even if I know the person.
People get mad at me for never responding, but I get annoyed when people who call me their friends send me 50 of these a day. It reminds me of telemarketing or junk mail only sent by friends! The only thing I ever do to family or close friends, is if I see an article in the paper, or on MSN, I e mail a link to the article. I do this like twice a year that's it. I had one friend actually never speak to me again, because she would send tons of these forwards and I'd never answer. She got extremely annoyed with me. Oh, well, I recently deleted my junk folder and it feels good. LOL.
Maybe the teacher doesn't realize his boyfriend and not dad? I would inform her immediately! sm
Does your boyfriend live there? Have you been together a long time? If not, he is way overstepping his bounds and I would immediately put a stop to it.
Buy a home of my own - not a palace, but more of a smallish home on a large piece of land. (nm)

Anyone move from a single family home to mobile home? sm
I own and live in a house in a midwest city in a bad neighborhood (wasn't that bad 11 years ago). I spent the day waiting for the plumber to come and jackhammer the foundation (slab house, no basement) to find a leaky pipe that is flooding my DD's bedroom. Last week, it was the electrician with quotes for costly repairs.
In the meantime, I've really been thinking about selling out and moving into a mobile home. Has anyone done this before? Is a mobile home in a decent park less of a hassle than a regular house? I'm so tired of cutting the grass and spending $$ to fix things and tired of old flooring and cabinets, etc., that are just too costly to replace. I'm single with no man to do these things for me and I can't afford a mortgage on a newer house in a good neighborhood. Some of the pictures I've seen of the mobile homes look really nice and modern on the inside.
Any advice and comments appreciated. Thanks!
Well I figure I can make my own hours & be home when the kids are home (sm)
I worked PT in an office for a while but spent most of my money on childcare in the summer. Full-time in an office was just a nightmare and I felt like I missed a whole year of my children's lives. I want to be in control of my schedule so that's why I'm looking into the cleaning thing. Never thought I would want to do that but live and learn! Some of the most intelligent people alive work as carpenters and similar things because they have learned what's really important in life. Whew....off my soapbox now :-) Good luck to you!
Daniel had a home, a very good home...
with someone in my family at one point.
She met her late husband at a club down the freeway from me. It's not a fancy place, like you say.
She does have a real brother though. That was the connection on our part.
I agree, though. It is sad that all this is coming out the way it is. I believe she was a good person...she just had a lot of problems, mainly drugs. What is really sad is that all of this is going to be seen by her daughter one day when she grows up.
Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
