How to be a Work at Home Mom

1. Yellow crayons make great highlighters. 

 2. You can amaze your friends and family with the fact that you can  type 63 WPM while nursing your baby and taking an order from your  newest client. (Okay, maybe THEY won't be impressed, but YOU will  be!) 

 3. You'll have the most entrepreneurial kids in the neighborhood.  Forget about lemonade stands - they'll be CEO's of their own  jewelry making business - paying other kids commissions on sales  and getting write ups in the local papers. 

 4. No matter how indifferent they may seem, your teenagers LOVE  the fact that you are there when they get home. 

 5. Finger painting unleashes your creativity. 

 6. In time you will honestly smile from your heart and not have to  bite your tongue when people call you a "lady of leisure". If they only  knew. 

 7. Your little ones don't care what you wear to work. (Or even if  you've brushed your hair!) In fact, the goofier you look, the better  you look in their eyes! 

 8. When your daughter looks at you with her big baby blues and  pleads "Mommy, please don't go to work today." You can instantly  answer "Okay!" without asking your boss for permission. 

 9. Hugging and kissing at work won't get you in trouble with your  husband. (With your kids, of course - Come on now!) 

 And the best reason for being a work-at-home mom ... 

 10.  People will ask you "How do you do it all?" And you'll just give  them your best Mona Lisa smile and wonder that very same thing to  yourself, but know with all your heart and soul that however you  manage it all, it's worth it!
