Oh, she's the queen of maniputlation. Except this time she didn't seem to want anything. Seemed more like a back handed way of complimenting herself. It was pretty funny though.
That M is a smart cookie. I answered your question on my blog but thought I'd add it here in case you miss it. xo
Good question Tracey. This is how I do it. The girl goes for a nap daily 12-2 and the TV goes on for the boy while mom writes. Also dadddy takes the kids out for a couple hour regularly to give me a break and I write then as well. It IS a struggle to fit it all in. And it IS a struggle to juggle yoga in as well, but I have learned that my activities are a priority or I deflate like a crancky balloon. So we find the time. I think about how I can fit it in daily. Given the option I will pick writing over yoga, but not for too many days. Also I have hired a babysitter to come in 2 times a week for a couple hours when hubby is at work and on those days I go to the coffee shop with my laptop. So that is how.
But then you've got to wonder if her compliment was simply a creative way of manipulating you. My kids aren't above it.
