This is my first post for the month of August and it’s coming almost three weeks into the month. De facto, I am having time off work this month, not so much by choice, but because my kids are home.
Working from home with your kids around is pretty much impossible. I can do the necessary maintenance work on my sites, but anything more than that is a problem. I have tried in the past and always ended up frustrated and with little work done. So, this year, as soon as summer camp was over, I decided to accept the situation and just be with the kids. If you can’t beat them, join them, preferably for some family summer fun! By the way, I’m here today thanks to my Mother who’s taking them to the swimming pool.
So what’s the problem with spending my days at the beach and swimming pool, at the movies or just playing Starcraft 2 with the kids?
The problem is I can’t really cut myself off work. In fact, I keep coming up with ideas for new projects. At least two of these I am exploring quite seriously – one is a new travel blog with a unique take, and another has to do with dropshipping – something I have never tried before.
I am itching to start working again. For now, I am limiting myself to doing some market research in the evenings. Ten more days to go before I can get back to my daily work routine!

Nice to see you found time to post again.
I know very well what you are talking about and how hard it is to keep up on your work with kids being around. Now my son is not living here anymore and still I can not get done everything I plan on doing. There is just too much to do around the house and garden every day, even without having kids around.
Anyway, I wish you good luck and success with the two new projects that you have in your mind and hope you will keep your readers informed how things are going. I would especially interested in how your dropship project will work for you. You really have decided for something that does not come without at least a few problems and troubles.
Good to see you post again mate. Have missed your articles for quite some time. But then again, everyone needs a break, so it is okay!
