Signs It’s Time to Shut the Computer Off
I’m getting to this blog late today. It’s just been a tiring week, I’ll tell you! At 31 weeks pregnant with my second, raising a toddler, running a business and taking care of my home, it’s amazing I am even awake at nearly 10 pm. I have that tendency though - I can’t relax until I feel accomplished, until I feel like I got the MOST done I could in a day. While being like that makes me a productive person, it also makes me prone to burnout!
So I wanted to come up with this list of signs that it’s time to step up and move AWAY from the computer. (A constant challenge I have.)
1.) When you feel the need to rub your eyes every few minutes.
2.) When your toddler keeps piling books up on your keyboard, begging for you to read to her and leave the computer. (I’m guilty of this today!) :o( Sorry, baby!
3.) When your brain is as foggy as the sky looks on a rainy day.
4.) Even long after you step away from your computer, your mind is still thinking about work.
5.) You’ve hit “Send/Receive” in Outlook about a hundred times in one hour. No more email is coming today, turn the computer off, already!
6.) Your spouse/partner has been asking you all week to watch the movie that YOU picked out on Netflix days ago.
7.) When your bladder is so full you feel like it could burst! (And being pregnant makes it worse!)
8.) Your pets have given up on you playing today.
The list is not meant to be a serious one, but rather a personal, humorous one that is representative of my day today. Goodnight, all!

Hey there! I am also pregnant. I currently work a full time job outside the home and hate it. My husband and I have two children already and desperately want to be a stay at home mom. I’ve been interested in getting involved in a work at home job, but I’m unsure how to get that started. I’ve been googling all morning and trying to find the best job that would suit my interests. Do you have any ideas?? I’ve seen several websites that have been talking about the mortgage refund program..I’ve heard bad and good things about it. It makes me nervous and I don’t want to be scammed! Do you have any advise??
Sincerely,
Mom of three (almost):)
