Check out the top 8 things you were not expecting about working from home: 

1. Mail would become the highlight of my day 

Wow, sad isn't it? A 20% off coupon for Bed, Bath & Beyond?! Hells yeah! The daily walk down the driveway to the mailbox has become way too exciting for me.

2. I am not, nor will I ever be Suzy Homemaker 

When I was working full-time, I fooled myself into believing that if I ever had the chance to stay home I'd cook every night and keep a spotless house. Yeah, right. 

3. The stress doesn't go away 

Working from home brings its share of unique stressors. Instead of worrying about year-to-date bookings and revenue like I used to, I worry about getting ANYTHING done with kids in the house. 

4. Kids are a lot of work 

Um, duh. Look, I already knew this but I didn't like "know know" this before I was with them all day, every day.

5. It's amazing what I can't get done 

I always thought, "If I only had the time!" Now I have the time and I STILL can't get it done. 

6. I'd gain weight 

Turns out, working 12 hours a day and pacing those long hallways of my office building was good for at least a little exercise. Running around my three bedroom home somehow hasn't yielded the same result.

7. Getting up in the morning is still hard 

I am getting three more hours of sleep A DAY since I left my job and yet, getting up is still hard! What's up with that?

8. We eat a lot of food 

When you're eating all three meals at home every day, you not only go through a lot of dishes, you go through a lot of food! Who knew?
