The Home Office


Why it's not good to have your husband working from home while he waits for his company to lease an office space:

1. He uses your laptop all day, every day and only lets you use it at night when he knows you are not a night person and cannot come up with decent blog posts at night.
2. He's distracting. You walk by the room and decide that he looks like more fun than the laundry you were about to do.
3. You are very aware that he can hear all aspects of your not-so-stellar parenting.
4. He knows about the amount of napping that goes on at home by you.
5. No clean-up-right-before-he-gets-home-so-he-thinks-you-have-it-all-together.
Why it's good to have your husband working from home while he waits for his company to lease an office space:
1. Gas prices. Sheesh.
2. When you are potty training, he cleans up the poopy underpants while you clean up the poopy 2 year old.
3. When you are making a hugely difficult castle cake on the same day you are potty training (I have been doing lots of hand washing, okay?), he helps you transfer the huge crumbling mess to a more stable surface AND keeps telling you how good it looks.
4. He watches the kids during naptime so you can buy the stuff for the princess party you are having tomorrow.
5. You can walk into his "office" 14 times while you are trying to find something that you can actually fit your 4 month pregnant self into, crying, and he'll tell you you look great EVERY time.
