Devoted to WAHMs -Work at Home Moms

The whole work-at-home thing might feel like a dream come true but sometimes it can be a nightmare. Today wasn't really a nightmare more like when you are just dropping off to sleep and you do that weird whole-body jump? Yeah, you know what I mean.

Well today was the day that the power company decided they were going to switch out my meter box. Just one little thing. They forgot to tell me! I have two computers running at home-one for me and work and one for the kids. Both were on with programs up and running when all of a sudden the power goes out.

I know, first thing you think about is, "Did I remember to pay the bill?" Scary! Then I look outside to see some man lurking in my yard. "Sorry lady," he says. "We couldn't read your meter and we didn't know what to charge you (he says that like it's a bad thing) and so we are changing out your meter."

One of the worst parts about working from home (and it really isn't that bad) is not having anyone to vent to or share funny stories with etc. That office camaraderie can make you feel like you are part of a team.

So what do you do when you work from home and need someone to talk to? Someone that understands the issues you face?
