Take Me Home

Today has been a typical hellish Monday at work. It sucks. People are super rude. Days like this make me really want a home based business. I don't like commuting 30 miles one way. I don't want a boss telling me what to do (although my boss is nice enough to take the difficult callers off my hands). Finally, I just don't like working for "da man." So here is where I stand as far as the importance of being home. Mainly it is my safe haven...most of the time. ;) I have so much I want to do around the house, but full time work really gets in the way of my life! LOL

Home is my center of focus. I feel most comfortable when I can be home in my environment and just be. Working 40 hours a week away from home has become tiresome. One day I would like to have children, but not if I can't be home with them. Hubby is currently trying to get his own remodeling business going. This has put tons of unwanted pressure on me. Now on top of the usual malaise I feel for my day job I am the sole provider on this income. Of course I'm looking for work closer to home, but the pay scale seems to decrease as the jobs move west of C-town. A little decrease would not be too harsh, but the difference is dramatic. My other job is my home-based Mary Kay business. I'm turning to that as a very possible way to be home with children when the time comes. A home based business may not keep me home constantly, but I would not have the daily commute and I would not have all this confrontation with angry customers like I do at the day job. My MK customers are happy customers. :)

After a grueling day at my current job, the last thing I want to do is get up in the morning and do it all again. I think I'm completely burnt out and it is time for a change. Home sweet home. Yes, I want to stay HOME!

LOL, well you know what kind of a day my home base business brought yesterday.

I will say tho I can't even imagine working for someone else as much as I hate bad days working from home I wouldn't change it for anything in the world, unless I HAD to.
