Top Ten Observations from Today

I worked from home today because I was not feeling very well. It's interesting being home with my family during the day as I feel I tend to throw off the flow of their day a little bit. Regardless I still enjoy the extra time with my husband and kids. Here are some observations I made from being home today.

1. Terence will sleep in as long as you let him. I think his philosophy is sleep first ask questions later.
2. My kids tend to get whinier when Terence and I are both home. When it's just me or just him they seem to be more cooperative. Interesting.
3. Connor loves to dance. His favorite songs are Crazy Frog and I love to Dance by the Yo Gabba Gabba characters
4. If you want Connor to sleep at all at night do NOT let him take a nap during the day
5. No nap Connor = Super cranky Connor when 5:00pm rolls around
6. My kitchen stays much cleaner when I am home
7. Corey loves to cuddle and be where Terence and I are. If we are on the couch he wants to be there, in the kitchen he’s right next to you, on the computer he’s on your lap
8. I get an extra two hours of work done working from home. Commute time turns into work time
9. Daytime TV, especially kids shows awful! My top three least favorite kid shows Fresh Beat Band, Max and Ruby and Ni Hao Kai Lan.
10. Working from home is a lot more fun than working in the office. It’s like getting two for one. I get my work done but also get to spend time with my kids. Best of both worlds, I wish I could do it more often.

Fresh Beat Band... gag me! I hate that show, Logan dances to all the music though, so it's worth having on if just for that.

I liked your observations. You should make it weekly fixture on your blog. The Wednesday 10. I love it. Maybe I will do it. I need structure in my blogging life. Seriously. I also need a set bed time. It's 2:19 am.
