With three teenagers in the house, one in college, and one married with a toddler, life conversations can get pretty interesting! Tonight was one of those nights. After a full day of work while in the process of making dinner, I went from talking about Prom accessories with one of my very excited daughters to diagnosing jock itch for our very busy athletic son who doesn't know 'what in the world' could be the matter with him! ROFL. God bless him for having to come to me with his ailment. I am sure he wishes his Dad had been home from work. During this conversation my smartphone rang, it was a business call and I picked up the phone not realizing that with the touch screen I had actually answered it- just as I said, "We will get medicine specific to jock itch tomorrow, try Desitin on it for tonight." Then I heard one of my employees say, "Excuse me? I was calling about a system issue we are having." I had to laugh out loud before I solved that problem.
Then the family piled in the Yukon and rushed off to a chorus presentation for our middleschooler. The minute I left the chorus presentation (which, by the way, was wonderful!) I received two more business calls and solved two more problems! Then after homework checks and lunch packing I received a call from our college daughter, who will be off to India in 10 days, to discuss how we can make her iPhone 4s global so that she can call 'home' (and the boyfriend of course!) while she is out of the country. Oh the life of the working mom! No mention of dishes or laundry yet...after all it is only 11:20pm....
Did I mention that a cold front moved through and the weather outside is glorious? I hope that you had an interesting night as well! We must find the humor in this busy life and learn to enjoy the little things. My heart is full. Count your blessings tonight.
