I just can't do it! This is one of the worst things about working at home as far as I am concerned. When my husband worked at home in the past, he could sit and work surrounded by piles of dirty laundry and acres of filthy carpet. I need to work on this...

As a busy writer mama, I find that I have to really focus on being in the moment with my kids to prevent workaholicism! Here are some other suggestions: - plant a butterfly bush and watch it every day for a few moments to see if it get's any visiting butterflys (this also works with a small humming bird feeder!; - have a popcycle (or 2); - designate your least favorite day of the week "Doughnut Day" -- how bad can a day be when it begins with a doughnut?; - let the kids chalk the side of your house (they'll be busy for hours!) Be sure to rinse before Dad get's home! My two cents! Happy Summer! What a great list!
