Drama or comedy, it boils down to the same result!

Sometimes I feel like my life is a Shakespearean comedy with all the trimmings.  Being a single mom with 4 kids between 11 and 3 still left at home makes for a lot of comedy. Of course that is only one aspect of my life, but it’s the angle that affects everything else in my life. 

Try having a romantic life, Ha! For a while there, it actually looked like it was going to work until it all came crumbling down. Of course that is not my kids fault but having kids does limits your ability to do things, go places and find out stuff quicker. That’s all I am going to say about that. The fact remains that  I’m single and I plan on  staying single for a long time LOL

Now I’m also an entrepreneur.  Have you ever been on the phone with a friend or family member and your kids left you alone? Nope, it does not happen. They have the innate ability of totally ignoring you all day long and as soon as you get on the phone all of a sudden they urgently need your attention!

I remember one time I was on a conference call and I could had sworn I had muted my phone…..  Well, obviously I hadn’t because when my 11 yr old daughter started to argue with me about something and I quickly lost patience with her I was kindly asked to mute my phone. I do not blush but my face turns really hot when I am terribly embarrassed. You could had fried an egg on my face!!!!

How about having to hide in the bathroom to talk to a client while some of your kids are screaming ninja sounds in the background and another is sticking their little hands underneath the bathroom door saying “mami, mami,mami,mami”.  You get so creative covering the mouth piece just enough to allow your words to seep through!

But the best is when a kid grabs your other phone and out of nowhere butts into your conversation “Mami Coral took her diaper off and she is poopy”….Nice   :/

That is  just a very small fraction of the bumps I run into while conducting my business.

What was the last embarrassing thing that happened to you , kid related, while you were talking on the phone?  I would love to hear from you, go ahead, leave me a comment.
