That is always a hard question for me. I'm still trying to find a simple answer people "get"... but over all I find a lot of people are just baffled by the whole working at home thing.

I'm reading Carrie Wilkerson's book, Barefoot Executive and she goes into how they just won't get it ;) So surround yourself with people that do (aka LaunchingMoms!)

Hmmm. Still giving different answers to different people, because different people have different perceptions about me being a WAHM. I know what it means to ME, but others seem to think that working from home means you're the level below a "lady who lunches."

Martine, I agree. Somehow the perception of working at home is that it is somehow a less important position than if we were in a cubicle or an office outside of the home– which is far from the truth.

True that!

At a meeting the other day, I had someone ask me: "So, OK, you're just blogging and doing Twitter the whole day? How is THAT work?"

I said, "Well, it IS work. Aren't I lucky?" :)
