Ever find yourself in one of those moments where you just KNOW all hell is going to break loose? Every Thursday afternoon, I feel this calm set over me, and force myself to just sit back and “breathe”. Because I KNOW, once 6 o’clock hits, everything and everyone is going to go nuts.
It never fails. Most Thursday evenings you can find me on a webinar coaching our clients on the use of Blog i360. I do everything possible to be prepared. My class outline is done on Wednesday, I make sure dinner is ready early and have the kids pick out a movie so everyone is fairly settled before the call starts.
It doesn’t matter. As soon as I sit at my desk and start putting all the systems on go, the kids decide it’s either time for a wrestling match or a shouting match. I have IMs popping up from everywhere, "Are you getting started?", "Should I do this?", "I need you to do this for me."
But there’s a time, at about 2pm, when no one is home but me. I treasure this time with every breath that I have. Whether it’s sitting on the porch listening to the birds (and frogs) singing their tunes, or stretching out on a hammock with a good book. I know the storm is coming, so I treasure the calm.

Here I share my thoughts and views on life as a mom, being a wife, working at home, and various other insignificant things that happen within my insane life.
