A few weeks ago, my good friend and one of my partners in crime dropped a not-so-subtle hint that it is time for an update on my progress as a work at home mom. So without further delay, here is my update.
When I started in January, my first concern was quickly replacing my old income to ensure [...]

It been over two weeks since I’ve punched a clock and my –how things have changed. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am one of those people that learns by doing. I am smart enough to know that I don’t have a clue sometimes and while I listen to people with [...]

Are You Waiting For Your Ship To Come In?Posted by Trisha Wagner on December 30, 2008
Swimming in a sea of emotions; that is how I feel today. It is early in the morning….and I mean early, the time of day when the world is quiet as it transitions into a new day and alas I am up because I can’t sleep. Well to be truthful, I fell asleep very early [...]
Why A Graceful Departure Is ImportantPosted by Trisha Wagner on December 17, 2008
It’s official. I have given my notice to my employer letting him know that I will be leaving effective December 31st. I’ll be honest; I struggled with the entire concept of giving a notice- after all many companies do not extend that courtesy when they let employees go. And in truth there are conflicting suggestions as [...]
For Best Results: Use When ReadyPosted by Trisha Wagner on December 8, 2008
I have learned a great lesson today- some things in life cannot be rushed. I had a wonderful opportunity to work from home yesterday and despite my best intentions, productivity was elusive.

Happy Evolution Day!Posted by Trisha Wagner on November 24, 2008
Evolution Day celebrates the anniversary of the first publication of origin of the species by Charles Darwin. I’m sure you are all aware of the theory of natural selection, I could go into a lengthy dissertation of this theory but I’m sure it would launch a long and drawn out bout of comments that I’m [...]
It’s All About AttitudePosted by Trisha Wagner on November 18, 2008
Either through genetics or environment, I have always been pessimistic in nature. While some people may see the glass half full or half empty, I tend to stand out from that crowd wondering why I don’t have a glass at all. Now don’t get me wrong…I don’t think I am the “woe is me” type [...]
So, what’s your plan?Posted by Trisha Wagner on November 12, 2008
I am a planner. My mother is a planner. My sister is a planner. What exactly is a planner you may ask? A planner is someone who likes to have an organized, scheduled, structured theme to their days. We are otherwise referred to by some as control freaks. Yes I can smile while I type [...]
