I’m sitting writing this particular blog post from the comfort of my couch in my living room. My daughter’s red hot feet resting against the side of my leg –yep you guessed it she has fever and not feeling well at all.    Of course I have a dozen things to get done today, including this blog post, but hey these things come up, that’s what being a work from home Mom is all about.
