Interruptions

I feel like I have been on the phone all morning.

When I'm on the phone my kids feel it's necessary do any of the following:

• Talk to me
• Fight with one another
• Raid the pantry
• Sing show tunes at the top of their lungs

However today when I was on the phone with our tax person, M decided to mix things up a bit.

M: "Mommy, please help me go potty."

Me: "I'm on the phone, we don't interrupt Mommy when she's on the phone. Go potty. J will you please turn on the light for your sister?"

M: "But Mommy! I'm pooping!"

Me: I have to call you back! (Slams phone down!)

Yes, she was pooping and it was everywhere. EVVV-REEE-WHERE!

So new rule, you may interrupt Mommy when she's on the phone if you are going to poop your pants. But please, interrupt me BEFORE you actually do it.
