Our county called another Snow Day for my sons’ schools today, something like the fifth this season. And all over just four inches of fluffy snow. As I attempt to work from home with my two lively sons this morning, it’s nice to be home…but not so nice to not be able to focus on my work.
Trying to be a good mom, i’ll take them sledding at lunchtime. Trying to be a responsible mom, I declared an hour of “non-electronic time” to get them off the Wii, their Nintendo DSs, their laptop and the Black Eyed Peas (who are great, I admit). But fifteen minutes in, I couldn’t work because they wanted me to entertain them, so I declared “non electronic hour” over.
Studies show our kids have too much screen time. It’s true, but if you ask me, when a single mom has to work from home, sometimes, it’s simply necessary.
