The Dangers of Working from Home - Captain Jamie Strikes Again!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty World Alliance
It's time for another adventure from Captain Jamie!!

It's been a while since we've heard from our mischievous toddler and that could be due to his growth from Daring Destructo-child to Finicky Four-year-old Finagler.  However, with the introduction of his new sidekick, the Amazing Amelia, Captain Jamie has had a relapse.  

Now I'm not in the habit of working from home with my children, but you do what you have to and with them out of daycare and my husband off on a remodel project, surely I could manage a few phone calls, emails, and such with my sweet children around.   But alas, it was not to be.   I had just returned from accepting a referral (thanks Roz!) from the quiet of our den when I heard the laughter.  Giggling playfulness with no hint of the usual fighting and sibling rivalry.  "Awwwww" I thought to myself as I rounded the corner.  And stopped.  

Captain Jamie had struck again!

Jamie Wilkerson strikes again!



After a moment of shock wore off, we had a shredded paper snowball fight and everyone had a blast.  Note to self, next time we empty the shredder, it should go STRAIGHT to the outside trash with no pitstops!  In the meantime, send a vacuum with that next referral, I'm going to need it!

Way too funny....I'm laughing with you, not at you...Although, my kids are older now.  I do remember a time that they used so much bubble bath in the upstairs tub that bubbles came out of the downstairs sink.  I mean TONS of bubbles.  Covered the entire floor!!!!  Best wishes from upstate NY.

I'm laughing so hard that I can't use my voice recognition software for this comment, so I'm multitasking -- typing and laughing at the same time.

Best wishes!

Russel - don't scare the cool cat with all that laughing!

Lewis - So far we've missed that one, but I think kids have a list somewhere and it's probably just next in line!

Sherry - Yes, it could be! He could have highlited all the white tiles in my kitchen again or permanent marker on the counter again, or... or.... LOL.  You just never know!
