Trying to Work Away From Home
My husband had a couple of days off work this week so I was so excited to make plans to spend an afternoon working out of the house for a change! First I had lunch with my BFF and then headed to a Starbucks to enjoy a latte and some quiet work time.
It didn’t exactly go as planned though. First of all I picked the wrong Starbucks location apparently. A small management team was having a meeting at one of the middle tables. They were fairly quiet but between them, the two young men on their computers and a few other customers the small seating section was too full but I decided to stick out anyway. So I got my latte (venti skinny vanilla is my usual order!!), sat down, pulled out the laptop, notebook and pen. While waiting for my laptop to start up I made some planning notes and then tried to log on to the internet. Couldn’t figure it out. Went onto my phone to try figure it out (via mobile browser). No luck there either. I think they were having service problems of some kind because I was getting a weird error message from the page you usually sign in on.
Gave up on the internt and opened up Notepad instead to do some brainstorming. I felt frustrated and disappointed that I wasn’t accomplishing what I had planned though. Guess I’m going to have to work a little tonight after all!
Oh well, I still am VERY thankful for the break and the peace and quiet. I love my kiddos but far too often some days I get tired of the noise level and the business and the constant needs (mommy I need a snack, mommy make Soy stop hitting, mommy Soy put his bottle down the heat vent AGAIN!).
Oh well, in a few years they’ll all be in school and I’ll be missing the noise, right?
