The Art of Multitasking



Why is it that women are always expected to multitask?  Because we have to.  Things would just never get done otherwise.  Yesterday I managed to mop the kitchen floor, start a new load of laundry and fold a load of laundry all while playing with Baby Marshmallow.  This has taken years of practice to master though.  Practice born out of necessity.  Example:

Baby M and I arrived back from dropping Livylu off at school yesterday.  He was screaming blue murder because it was milk o'clock and I was doing the wee wee dance.  My pelvic floor muscles are still on maternity leave and although tempted to invest in adult diapers, I am not quite that desperate yet.  Yesterday though I WAS desperate to use the toilet.  So, in that position what is a mother to do?  It's simple.  While unstrapping the child from the stroller, you simultaneously get a boob out, latch him on and race to the bathroom.  Everyone is happy.  Yes I could leave the baby to cry for a minute or just wet myself but why? 
Perhaps I should multitask now and do some kegels......
