I can only speak for myself.

The past 10 days have been crazy. One of those times that there seems to be more work than hours in the day. I found that after working all day long, I had lost the desire to write. Partially because I had so much to do, and partially because I questioned if it was worth the time. The jury is still out on that one.

I really don't know what other home office experiences are. I work for a company and have regular hours and responsibility much like working in an office. My hours are not as flexible as they would be if I was self employed.  I work with and know people who are self employed and I think that they would say that their hours are not that flexible either. There is something to be said for those of you how risk it all and depend solely on yourself for that paycheck.

But this blog is not about comparisons of what life style is better or worse. It is about me and my own struggle to balance my worlds when they all reside under on roof.

So what is so important that I feel like sharing today?

That would have to be a sense of accomplishment. I had one of those days today where things just worked out. Not that today was easy, but I was able to work through some frustrating problems. I finished a database report script that has been driving me insane for a week just to have it followed up by another data challenge. This one should have been easy but because of poor documentation and a support team that sent me heading south when I should have gone north. Once I took a step back and walked through the problem with a new member of the support team, it all fell into place. I think the support agent thought I was crazy because I really did not ask her many questions. In fact, my parting statement to her was to thank her for being somebody that I could talk the problem through with that knew what I was talking about. I have tried to talk things through with members of my family, and they try to understand, but they just don't have that understanding that would allow them to say. "Hey look you forgot to check that obscure barely document box."

I was then able to finish a book cover, fix a bike, repair a broken sprinkler system,  set up a new watering system for the garden, work out a small fence for the garden, and kill 100 mosquitoes.

So will anyone find this post interesting? Maybe. But I guess that really does not matter.
The important thing is that I a still here plugging away eating an elephant one bite at a time.
