My schedule is flexible.

In my previous 8am-3pm job, my work hours were set in stone. Working from home gives me the benefit of working some set hours and having freedom with the others. I am able to wake up early, while my family is still sleeping, and do a couple of hours of work. In the evening, my husband and I get to cuddle on the couch while I create lessons for my online classroom.

I can often manipulate my schedule so that I can fit in midday doctor’s appointments or lunchtime mini-playdates. It also means that no hour of the day is off limits for work, and I often find myself working late into the night and into the wee hours of the morning.

I get to work from the comfort of my home.

It truly is amazing how much I get done in my house some days! I get to enjoy my husband’s delicious cooking for breakfast every day, I don’t have to plan ahead for lunches, and I am able to throw dinner in the crockpot. Granted, there are days that I realize that its already 2pm and I haven’t brushed my teeth, but I usually work with a fresh cup of coffee by my side and my sweatpants on, so I consider it a win.

But, working in my house has the heavy burden of constantly feeling like I need to unload the dishwasher, organize the playroom, or any of the other myriad of things that a person is responsible for in their own home.

I am both co-breadwinner and homemaker. I make a paycheck, kiss boo-boos, refill sippy-cups, and type away at my laptop day and night. On easier days (of which there are many), I am grateful for this amazing opportunity to raise my child. On difficult days (of which there are many), I am reminded that this is such a short season of my life. A season that I will look back on and be strengthened by my perseverance, proud of myself for being both a full-time employee and full-time mama.
