I Got A Sunburn While Working Today
Spring has sprung full force here in Southeastern KY. We are spending some time at the in-laws while the husband recovers. The in-laws have a huge yard in the middle of nowhere so it's great for us. Our two boys have played outside while I have worked on the sundeck with my laptop, and while I perused blogs today. They are still going strong as I write.
I can't explain this great feeling of being able to work outside in the warm sun while the boys are splashing in the mud and throwing balls only a few feet away. Being able to be a mother and working at the same time doing something I truly love can't accurately be described the way I would really like to do it. My kids like this arrangement. I like this arrangement so it works for us.
I'm gonna send you on over to Rebecca's post over at Babble.com with a similar topic after I share with you an excerpt here from her post that I identify with so deeply.
"Concentrated on the two things in her life that will never be less than inspired and inspiring: her child and her craft-- working and creating and mothering all at once. Because she has to".
Thanks Rebecca, also of Girls Gone Child, for your inspiring and realistic writing.Labels: motherhood, mothering, WAHM, work at home, work at home mom

What a great post. Thanks for the link. It was definitely worth clicking.
I could not agree more! We spend at least an hour outside everyday. Becca plays hard and I knit or read (I should be on the computer but lately I have not been in the mood!)
Thanks for the linky love, mama. Love to you!
Love the blog, and the others listed below! Here's something I thought some other mommies might be interested in... Sorry for the limited details, my 4 year old is climbing all over me!
La Redoute Has a new program called LR TXT. Sign up by following the link at the bottom of their home page and get a 20% offer instantly sent to you via text message. It's a really cool new way to get coupons from a place me & my friends really like to shop at. Especially because there are so many emails in my inbox I often dread even looking in there!
Anyway, it's affordable & Nice Stuff!
Texts are free from them, Cingular charges me 5 cents or so for each one, but it saved me almost $20 bucks - 5 cents for $20 bucks? Sounds good to me. Enjoy!
Thanks for the info, sunburns can be a real killer. Except for the indian sunburn.
