Workin' Nine to Five

I got to complete a puzzle on the dinner room table with my oldest, followed by a good long trampoline session. I read her a book while we both laid on my hammock in the evening dusk.

The following day, as I worked in my home office, my two year old, Ellie was playing with her playhouses in the living room. She had a character that was creatively named, "Ellie." While she conversed to herself through the dolls, I heard her call to it, "Let's go, Ellie bell!" That is what her mom and I call her most of the time. It just sounded better from her mouth.

I have only worn socks at bowling and at my uncle's funeral since the beginning of June.

I have not been woken up by an alarm for work in that time either. Instead, my children are my wake-up call.

I have had conversations over coffee most every morning.

People ask me how working for myself is.
