Add in a few long hours stranded on the side of the road, and you can probably guess the bitter emotions that well up whenever I see the Red Battery of Sudden Car Death. Sure, I know how to fix my own car, but I’ve been working a lot, have a strict blogging schedule and I don’t want to spend two hours of my free time fixing my car.

In just the 40 minutes before the kids wake up, I can write a blog post. I can work on my own blog. When I start working in the morning, I sit on our couch which is adjacent to a sliding glass door out to our backyard. I still need about 20 minutes to wake up, but by 5:20 or so, I’m ready to start working.

As a result, my blogs thrived, my dogs got their much-needed “mom” time, and I started my day in a productive but not overly stressful way. Since I work in front of a computer as well for my day job, I wasn’t surprised. I was camped out on my couch, blanket up over my head, lights dimmed, earplugs in. A migraine. An hour?”.

While I normally manage pretty well working from home, there are times that I need to make a real effort to limit distractions so that I can meet deadlines and stay on top of what needs to be done. Turn off the email notifier as well. I like to write a blog post, then take a break. The physical separation makes a big difference.

This past weekend, I woke up late, switched to the couch, and stayed there for the vast majority of the day. Also, since I had been a couch potato all day, I knew I should get to the gym. I always get an extra kick of motivation to get something done if somebody with whom I’m particularly competitive is doing well at it.

I can’t help myself…she is so stinkin’ cute…even if she is on the couch. I think we eat pretty well for $450 and any less than that is a stretch for us. Also, if you’re blogging about the Grocery Budget Challenge, feel free to leave the link in the comments. Ok, Ok, let’s talk grocery budget!

They write a personal blog, Where Love Takes Us. We won’t tell you what it had profited, but its done VERY well – it all started with a small idea that we could chew off and God blessed it. Well that’s not in the budget so you better sell something on craigslist… Lamp sold, go get a pedi now. Where are you from?
