These are “fighting” words in my house. “Working from home,” especially with the creation of Stylish Patina, has created a new and interesting dynamic in our house. My hubby will either laugh when he reads this or this post will be “fighting word!”, laugh…maybe he won’t check the blog:-).
We adapted pretty easily to being married and living together, even through a home renovation and the marriage of four dogs, but the concept of me working at home also seems to mean work, clean, cook and run all the errands:-). We are used to me being the 1st one out the door to work and the last one home due to my jobs in the past. So many days we will have a conversation that goes like this…
“J” — “Did you go to Home Depot for xx?” and I say “No, I didn’t get to it today,” and then it comes…”Well, you were home all day, what did you do?” This is when I want to strangle my husband and scream at the top of my lungs “WORK”. I’m exaggerating a bit, but you get the point:-) I have to say my hubby is VERY supportive of everything I do. Soooo, what did I do today?
