Yesterday I had really good time doing a radio interview with my good friend Diana Ennen Publicist / Author / Radio Host/Virtual Word Publishing www.virtualwordpublishing.com To hear the interview go to http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stations/bc/momcast
What you didn’t see behind the scene was me doing my “Mompreneur Shuffle”. That’s me trying to do something very “professional” while also taking care of my most important duty, being a mom. Diana had asked me to do the interview at a very specific time (Tuesday the 13th at 12:00 as that’s when the show airs) and I am not one to ever pass up a good PR opportunity. I knew that my 5 year old would be in school and I didn’t need to leave the house until 12:35 so that wasn’t a concern, but my 3 year old was going to right there with me. I had to strategically plan my morning. I knew that 12:00 was prime lunch time for her so I needed to rearrange her lunch so she would be finished by 11:45. I also wanted to do a lot of playing and wearing her out, so after her early lunch she would be happy with a nice 40 minute video so mommy could lock herself in her office for a little chat on the phone with Miss Diana. I had to make sure she went pee pee on the potty before noon because I didn’t want everyone in cyber space to hear “MOMMY…. I NEED TO WIPE!!” I also needed to make sure that she had her drink right there with her because if she decides it’s time for her orange juice and I’m not there to open the container, the entire world would know it. It’s no wonder us mompreneurs are so successful. We have to plan and strategize every detail to the Nth degree, including how to make a 30 minute phone call! What you also did hear (or maybe you did) was towards the end, my little one got restless and started calling for me from the bottom of the stairs. (Sometimes even my best attempts fail) I got a little distracted for a second (could you tell?) and put my hand to my lips to her and then gave her the finger… you know, that index finger held straight out that says “Mommy will be there in just 1 minute so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just be quite for 60 more seconds PLEASE!!!” She gets that finger probably more then your average kid, so she knows what it means and is normally very good about keeping quiet for a few more seconds. After I got off the phone we rushed out the door to pick up Madison and we went to the park to play since it was such a beautiful day here in
Charleston. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Do you think this is how Trump started??
