work from home

Reflecting on the Last Month

While I’m sitting here typing out my thoughts on my reflections of the last month, I sometimes stumble to find the right words.

July was busy in our house. Early in the month, Sean came home on a 4 day pass and then Matt was here for 4 days last week. As much as I would love for them to come up together, I’d be asking for a miracle. After all, it is the Army.

The last time all 5 of us were together was in mid-May of 2008 for Matt’s ROTC commissioning ceremony from Xavier University. I have no idea when all 5 of us will be together again, most likely not until they get back next year.

Alarm Clock Yes or No?

alarmclockOne of the biggest things you hear a lot of people say when they work from home full-time is that “Oh, I threw my alarm clock away” now that I’m working from home.

Well, I actually still wake up to an alarm clock.  During the school year, it’s a necessity as I have an 8 yr. old to get ready for school.  In the summer, I still do and here’s why.

I like to get up early, around 6:00 a.m. or slightly earlier and go for a run.  Believe me, I am not one of those happy, smiley people who wake up completely rested that you see in commercials.  Hearing the buzz of the alarm clock is not one of my favorite sounds.
