I received my first paycheck, and it felt really good. I hadn't really thought about the fact that I would need to set up a paypal account, or that I might be responsible for figuring out how much to set back for taxes. I think that I can do it myself, but I might spend an hour or two with an accountant just to make sure I'm withholding enough money.

I feel like I'm starting to get in a groove, and so is Jake. It turns out that he really likes his morning time just like I do - and he even plays in his "office" while I'm working. So far, having the desk in the main living area works pretty well as long as I don't have anything to do in the evenings, which I usually don't. However, I know that when we start "turn," I'll probably be slammed and I'm kind of dreading it because I know that week I'll have much more than 15 hours. However, Landers and Elena have promised me that they always take the week or two after turn off completely, and that I'll be able to have that time off to make up for it.

I love working at home, but I am noticing that I always feel like I'm behind. Even once I've worked 3 hours, the usual amount of time that I would spend per day, max, I feel like there are probably things I should be doing to get ready for the next day. I find that I'm often working in the evenings after Addie and Jake have gone to bed, and, needless to say, that is not going over particularly well with my husband. He says I need boundaries, and I think he might be right.
