Everyone thinks that you sit and eat BonBons and watch TV all day…not even close. Just because I am home, does not mean that I am not working…When I asked my co-workers what they hardest adjustment was for them, it was “training” their friends and family.

My mom was our house/dog sitter while we would go away, so one weekend we returned late on a Sunday night so she decided to stay. She would hang out until I could take her home. I told her that I had an important conference call at 8am and could not be disturbed, she said that was fine. She was awake before I closed my office door and I let her know I would open the door to let her know I was off the call…
10 minutes into my call…she is knocking on the door, asking me if I needed anything. I think my head started spinning
