I have a total of 30 articles to turn in by Tuesday. Actually half of them need to be done before then, but I’ve also managed to get a few of them done. Wow.

I like staying busy, but this time of year comes with way too many distractions. Hubby hasn’t been extremely supportive lately, either. He doesn’t like it when I have to stay up late to work. But anything that requires a large amount of research or even concentration is much harder to do during the day while tending to Pumpkin. And in the evenings when Hubby is home, it’s not much better- sometimes he’s like another kid who is starved for attention.

I can’t count on my in-laws to help, either. One day I got off of work at my day job early, and I told Hubby to take Pumpkin over there and tell them that he would pick her up when he got off work. After leaving work, I got home and worked for about an hour before my mother-in-law started calling every 15 minutes, hinting around that I should come get her. I finally gave in. Obviously they’re less understanding than Hubby.

I just don’t get people. They think that just because you work at home, you can sit there and rake in the dough without having to do anything for it. If that was the case, I would be vacationing in the Caribbean instead of sitting here. I mean, if you don’t have to do anything for it, why should it matter where you are?

In that respect, I’ll be glad when school starts up again. Then I’ll have some uninterrupted time during the day to get things done.
