Back to school, back to work
You'd think that after nine years of working from home that I'd be used to it by now, but summer vacation for the kids is always a bit of a trial for me. I find that I can't spend any time in my office because I'm breaking up fights or interceding in arguments or preparing lunch or snacks or any one of a hundred other things that the kids demand when they're home. And with Bonnie now working out of the house more weekdays than not, it's even worse.
So it's with great pleasure that I find myself on Labor Day, preparing to send the kids back to school -- all three of them -- tomorrow. I'm looking forward to having at least a bit of peace and quiet to get my work done during the daytime, even as the days grow shorter and colder and we march on towards autumn and winter.
