I work at home. I was on the phone, trying to be professional. As I'm talking to the person my daughter comes out and screams into the phone "I CAN'T FIND MY UNDERWEAR!" Nice. The next day I bought a headset with a mute option!

Worst moment so far-arguing with my husband over who will take a sick day. He feeds our toddler (who has a mild dairy allergy) cheese so that she can be "normal." When she's throwing up the next morning he tries to weasel out of staying home by implying that his job is more important!

I was at home with 2 sick kids- boss called me and said I had to be on a conference call. It dawned on me that the ONLY TIME they sit still for a movie is watching on the DVD player in the car so I strapped them in the car seats w/ a movie and joined the call sitting right outside the car. All was OK until time to go pick up my older son at school. Car battery died from the DVD player running!!

more of a vent i suppose. . .but i am not looking forward to this evening. I will go pick up kids then pick up daddy, we will go home he will plop on the couch while i get kids occupied while i clean the kitchen and cook dinner then baths/bed for both. when i am about done he will ask for my help. and he wonders why most evening i dont want to be "intimate", because i am so tired from doing it all

The children had been shouting at each other for about an hour, while I cooked supper, took down the washing, folded it, did the dishes and ran the bath. I marched into the lounge and shouted at them, "You know what? I'd rather be at work than listen to you lot argue." Sterling mom, no?

I was bone tired yesterday night and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Only to be awakened, in a few minutes with BANG - my 16-month old daughter had fallen off our family bed!!! She cried out: "mommieeee....oueiiiiiii..." then fell right back to sleep...

I was at the office deep in a good writing moment when I got a call from my daughter's school asking where I was. Um, I'm working, I said. Then it hit me. Months earlier I had arranged a meeting with her teachers, a learning specialist, a doctor who had just completed a neuro-psych on my daughter and I JUST FORGOT ABOUT THE MEETING!!!!!!!!

My 3 year old and I were shopping at Wal-Mart and he found the perfect toy for me and him, no mess and endless entertainment. He was putting it in the cart and I started walking, the edge of the cart hit him in his eye. I gave my son his first black eye.

An evening board meeting was just getting started when my cell phone rang, seeing it was my husband, I silenced it and turned the phone off. I was pissed he called at 6:05, knowing the meeting started at 6. He had to leave a message to tell me my 3 month old first-born son had fallen off the couch onto his head, which I didn't pick up until 2 hours later. (ps. In the end my son was fine.)

I had to take my 3 yr old to an important meeting so I set her up in the corner with a DVD and snacks. My business partner and I were presenting to a panel of older male executives. Just as we were about to close the deal my daughter shouts, "Mom, I've gotta go poo poo. Hurry, it's going to come out!"
