Had a bit of a wake up call about the amount of time I have spent doing work at home from Little Miss, the currently world leader in toddler tantrum having. I came out of the lounge room to find her sitting in my big leather chair happily bashing the keys on the desktop computer and then spinning the chair around to face the lap top and tapping away on that keyboard as well.
There she sat spinning back and forth between the two happily bashing the keys only stopping momentarily to pick up my mobile and do a pretty good impersonation of me when I am on the phone.
It was cute as buggery and it made me smile …………………. until when I told her it was bath time and she had to get down she did another very good impression of me saying ‘in a minute I just have to send this email’ followed by a tantrum when I went to get her down. Ouch, it hurts at times when the ones you love so much hold a mirror up to you so you can see your failings, even if they themselves can’t even express what they are.
I hereby declare this weekend a work free 48hours.
