It Ain't All Fun And Games
Working where you live and living where you work isn't always what it's cracked up to be. You know those pictures of women lounging while balancing a laptop on one knee "working" don't paint a very accurate picture of what it's really like. If you work at home, I'd love to share some "not so rosy" true stories in here!

Here's my own story of how it can sometimes be less than perfect.
My kids are both in school now so I'm able to take those professional calls where before that was nearly impossible. I never point out the fact during phone calls that I'm working in sweats from my desk inside my house. I just let everyone assume I'm in a nice office somewhere.
One day, while on a conference call with several colleagues, my dog decides to start barking wildly at nothing at all. I panicked, trying to hold and cover the phone with one hand while getting my dog outside of the house with the other. Just when I thought I'd have to answer questions about it--one of the women on the phone said how great it must be to be able to take your dog to work! I just agreed, that it was indeed a wonderful thing. :)

That's funny:)
I'm also working at home, and I like it. Though I do not need to make phone calls, that's why it's easier:)))
I think it's nice when you can work anytime you want and rest as well....
