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 woke early, pumped, got my 4 mo. old son ready for the day & packed the car to drop him, and his gear, to his grandmother's as usual. I drove the 25 minutes to drop him off and realized that I had left the breast milk in the cooler on the dining table! I had to drive home, get the cooler and drive back to grandma's and then home for work...missing 1.5 hours of much needed work time.

I got off work the other day, picked up the tots at daycare, got home, made them dinner, and as we settled down to read together in bed, I pulled out my ponytail holder. Then discovered a tiny sparkly butterfly clip in my hair - likely been there all day thanks to a certain almost-three year old! Nice look for a 38 year old!

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.

I am on national radio, telling details for adult ears and six, loud, boys, one, my 10 year old son, ran into the house all wanting FOOD! That would be ME! I kept shooing them away. So I am making huge "be quite please" gestures. They LOVED seeing me freak out. I forgot to put a sign on the door that says "ON RADIO". I will let you know if that works!

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!"

Just coming back from maternity leave of my second son, I thought that I had it all together. Breakfast for the kiddies, ready for school made a lunch, kissed husband goodbye, drove off to work, arrived on time, didn't cry for the entire morning. Things were looking up. I was talking to someone about work related stuff when some food dropped out from inside of my shirt.I was storing some goldfish.

It's 6 am, I have a big presentation today, and have been awake since 4 am due to a crying kid - husband always sleeps through. Directly after work we have a potluck at the kids' new preschool, and I have nothing to take with us as our cookie baking attempt last night went miserably.

We had a BBQ event for our clients and their families, which included all employee families as well. My daughter is a ham and loves the spotlight. At one point, the band had the kids get up, introduce and say something about themselves. My 5 year old daughter gets up and says, "My breasts are bigger than my Mommy's because she nursed me and a pump". As least it was memorable.
