as I am sitting here casually browsing through www.6pm.com looking for some new clothes, my daughter comes up to me and watches my choices for a while. Then she says :"why don't you just get the same clothes as you had before but in a bigger size?" I asked: "why in a bigger size????????!?!?!?!?!?" She said that she assumed that since I was looking for new clothes, I must have grown.....
I have not grown!!!!!!!!!

I am working from home. Unlike my friends in the neighborhood who are staying home with their children for free, I have the luxury option of sending my kids to school and stay at home and work. My job does not have an office in our city so they allowed me to perform my duties in the kitchen. Close to the fridge. Which can create a problem.
Working from home(or telecommuting) is great for the family. I can drop kids off to school if they overslept, they can stay home with me when they are sick, no after school care is needed... I also don't have to get dressed up for my job and my commute is very short. I talk to people all they long via phone, email and instant messaging so I don't feel like I am missing out on work interactions.. I used to work in corporate environment and I don't miss it at all...
However, the evil fridge is haunting me.... Somebody needs to invent a special door mechanism that would lock the fridge down around 9 AM and open it again at 5 when it is time to feed the kids... Otherwise, the leftovers are there and they are calling my name.
I also recently discovered that I have nothing to wear. I mean, the closet is full, but I only have either very casual clothes(like jeans and t-shirts and sweaters) or really racy going out stuff... I need to acquire some appropriate clothes although after working from home for the past 3 years, I am not sure how I would wear them.
My husband is trying to quit smoking... Let's hope he is succesful and also let's hope that he works a lot of late shifts until the process is done... He has done this before and will soon turn into annoying pedantic psychopath who needs to be avoided at all costs... Smoking kills! But husbands who are trying to quit are not easy to coop with...
Things my kids say:
Emily - very nervous before going on a plane and being told to go to the bathroom: "Bathroom is not the answer to everything!"
Simon - being measured and told that he is almost 4 feet tall - "No, Mommy, I have 2 feet"
Simon does not like Mascot and I don't blame him. His school has a 8 foot blue dragon for a mascot. So yesterday, when going to a school event we told him that the scary dragon is not going to be there. Emily said: "Dragon is sick... He has dragon pox...."
