Work Hazards

My husband can't figure out why our 3.5 year old keeps getting into mischief while I work in the office.  Twice, when I've had conference calls, she's gotten (me and her!) into trouble. I'll put something entertaining in front of her to keep her occupied. Today, it was the My Melody stamps and ink pads.

Three weeks ago, I had a big video call "appearance" for my company.  My boss was doing a demo for Hawaii legislators on how telecom technology can help businesses save money and not have to lay employees off by allowing them to work from home...how it enables his employee, a mom of three who lives all the way in Utah, to work from home and save $1,500 a month in day care.  I was nervous all week about the call, about my equipment not working, about the kids making too much noise in the background.  My 2 babies were asleep, and I needed to keep Keira occupied.  She asked for her craft scissors to cut up some paper.  I didn't think twice.  She uses them all the time, I thought, but usually while I'm right alongside her.  About 2 minutes before I went "live," Keira walks in with a head full of hair in her hands.  I put my hands over my mouth and shrieked at first, then couldn't stop laughing, and the demo was a breeze...

Mom, how you like me now?

Dramatics of lost hair

Can't keep a serious face

Kate fixed it, and that's probably not the last time

I'm scrapping this lock as a souvenir just in case those curly locks don't return
