- you promise yourself a pedicure for a job well done and you get it that very night (by sitting on the side of the tub and soaking your feet in bubble bath while bathing your toddler).
- you text your spouse just as he gets off work, begging him to stop at the store for chocolate (for you), fabric softener (for the laundry), Kibbles 'n Bits (for the dog) and tranquilizer darts (for the children).
- the children get an extra half-hour of TV time because "Mommy's inspired and has to get this blog post out right now, before she forgets the whole bloody thing".
- the local librarians have your website address memorized and actually give it out to other patrons...not because they have used your services, but because during your weekly "Library Day" you always clean up after your kids (thus delaying your own return home to the dog hair and the laundry).
What proved to you, once and for all, that you're a work-at-home parent? Leave me a comment with your own funny (true or not) thoughts about family life and home businesses! Need another chuckle? Stop by another fun watercooler blog for a laugh or two.
Gee, tranquilizer darts! They sure didn't have those when my kid was little! *smile*
