Working from home seems to be a difficult option, even with Carmen staying with the kids on the other side of the house! Ethan keeps coming in with various complaints, from the average (my sister hit me, Carmen won't play my game, etc.) to a variety of unusual ones (purple monkey won't play with me, I have to make a phone call and its too loud out there, I want to work, but they won't let me). I haven't figured out how Purple Monkey isn't playing, but he is currently in time out for the mis-adventures of his owner. Poor guy. Subsequently, Ethan has come in to request the release of my prisoner....to which I obligied but relayed the message that Purple Monkey kindly requests that Ethan be good so he doesn't go back into timeout. I explained that Purple Monkey is sad when he's in timeout, to which Ethan asked...how? Purple Monkey isn't real, so how come he is sad? Selective pretend play.....
Another point of challenge on this "working from home" option is the office, which is currently not only the box storage room (who thought it was a good idea to bring everything from the basement? And did we really need 15 glass vases? Oh...that is my fault!) but it doesn't seem to have a working outlet, so no electronic equipment for me:)
