As much as I complain about my job I have to admit it does come with some wonderful perks. I get to work from home. The pay is not bad and I have some great benefits. This summer has really made me appreciate my job even more.

We have a community pool membership. The pool is about 5 minutes from our house and we love spending time there. This summer they added WiFi at the pool. When I found this out I almost kissed the board president. This gave me the ability to hang out by the pool a few hours a week so the kids could swim with their friends more than just on the weekends.

Now while this is a wonderful thing for my family, I have been catching a lot of flack from a friend of mine. She too is a WOHM, trapped in a high rise office complex over looking downtown Philly. Cue the violins. When she found out that I was able to work by the pool she melted into a pool, no pun inteaded, of jealousy. Now mind you this is the same woman who only works 4 days a week and up until recently was not able to make it into the office before 9. LOL

I need to remind myself not to take my job or its perks for granted. I could be a lot worse off.
