Time to write

The biggest challenge of working from home is finding time to write. Michael Alexander, now five months old (born April 19), is sleeping like a big boy, but some days he doesn't nap at all. I write, research and report when he plays, but he's not one for solitary pursuits. He's happiest when I pay full attention to him. I'd like to take on more freelance, but I can barely manage the few assignments I have, and already do most of my typing with one hand, like right now. I've mastered the one-handed conference call with taking notes and typing trick, a skill that comes with motherhood. I've had so many more creative ideas since he was born. I thought it would be fun to write a blog using his voice. My husband, Mike, and I speak for Michael Alexander in a kiddie voice our friend Justin calls the Mickey Mouse voice. Blogging daily would force me to take more pictures of my son to accompany his insights and observations. Ultimately I decided it was creepy to write for a baby. Talking for him is weird enough, but at least I'm not doing it alone and we control our son's audience. My other ideas are too brilliant to share. Ha!
