On Wednesdays I usually work from home via email. I decided to do this because:
a) I don’t like being away from little H 40 hours a week
b) It saves us in childcare costs
c) Hubby only gets every second weekend off. So not every week, but every second week, he is off on Wednesdays – so every second Wednesday we get a bit of family time (did ‘ja get that?).
d) I enjoy my pjs and
e) Time saved commuting is time I can, maybe if I’m lucky and all the planets align and I don’t cook dinner, get some creative stuff done.
Right now at work we are dealing with three HUGE projects that involve a lot of money. I need to be there to help out and coordinate actions surrounding these projects. So guess what. Wednesday came around and I couldn’t afford to not be in the office – there is just too much going on. What I’m doing about it? I’m taking little H to work with me.
Please pray for me that:
Little H doesn’t cover me from head to toe in goo, snot, tears, banana or something else equally embarrassing.
That she doesn’t have a massive poop blowout for all the world to smell
That she sits nicely in her stroller and watches her baby Einstein video during my meeting (yes, I will be in a teleconference meeting!)
That she amuses herself safely and allows me to actually get some stuff done.
My head hurts just thinking about it!

It’s nice that you have a job that you can take your child to work. I wish you luck that you’ll be able to get everything done.
Hope everything goes well for you today! My head hurts for you just thinking about it, lol!
I wish you the best! Although I must admit, I’m secretly hoping for a gut-busting story to come out of this …
Better you than me. Lol. Sorry.
Oh how I’ve been there.
“Just one more hour, Toots. One more hour.”
mercy! that is quite the day you have planned- may it all go smoothly
I am sure everything went well with the little one..and if it didn’t..it will make for a good story when she/he is older..
I’ve done it.
Good luck.
It usually ended badly for me. Badly in terms of me not actually getting anything done anyway…
oh boy! I can’t imagine getting any work down with E! Hope all went well.
It is possible to get a little bit done with your LO at work with you. I have to do it occasionally with Sara Rose
So how did it go? I have the same problems with my little guy. It’s so hard to get things done and he just went to one nap a day!
OK, so what actually did happen? Did the wee bairn (and you) make it through tthe day OK?
Thank you so much everyone for your words of encouragement! I’ve posted a little update
