Home is my Business

My husband drives to his job each morning.

I roll out of bed into mine.

I do the finances, housekeeping, party planning, scheduling, meal planning, entertaining, tutoring, employee incentives . . . you get the picture.

There are two things that are complicating my job today:

1. Coordinating with 7 junior high teachers, 2 elementary teachers, one pre-school teacher, a special ed. instructor, and a speech therapist to organize missed homework while we're away on vacation next week. A daunting feat.

2. I can't smell. I can't taste. My teeth ache. My face aches. I have a sinus infection. I called my doctor this morning. He's in Haiti until next Wednesday. I mentioned to the receptionist that our insurance changed at the beginning of the year. Upon hearing what insurance we now have she informed me that their facility is not a provider.

Goodbye family physician

Goodbye ear, nose and throat doctor

Goodbye dermatologist

Goodbye gynecologist

I did the only logical thing,

I climbed back into bed, pajamas and all,

and read a book

until my stomach and my 5 year old

grumbled for lunch 3 hours later.

A perk of running your own business.

Happy Monday,
